Reaction Steps

Into a 50-mL round bottom flask, was placed a solution of methyl 3-(3-(2-(4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl(3-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)amino)pyridin-2-yl)-4-(piperidin-1-yl)phenylcarbamoyl)-benzylthio)propanoate (800 mg, 1.05 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in dichloromethane (2 mL), and 2,2,2-trifluoroacetic acid (5 mL). The resulting solution was stirred for 3 h at room temperature. The reaction progress was monitored by LCMS. The resulting solution was diluted with 20 mL of NaHCO3 (aq), extracted with 3×50 mL of dichloromethane, and the organic layers combined. The resulting mixture was washed with 1×50 mL of brine. The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was applied onto a silica gel column and eluted with petroleum ether:ethyl acetate (5:1). The product was obtained as 200 mg (29%) of a yellow solid.
