Reaction Steps

To a solution of difluoro-(5-{3-[6-(1-methanesulfonyl-1-methyl-ethyl)-quinolin-8-yl]-phenyl}-pyridin-3-ylsulfanyl)-acetic acid ethyl ester from Step 1 (1.0 eq.) in CH2Cl2 (0.2M) at −78° C. was added MeMgBr (3.0 eq.; 3.0M in Et2O). The mixture was warmed to rt, stirred for 12 h, poured in saturated aqueous NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in EtOH (0.2M) then NaBH4 (3.0 eq.) was added. The mixture was stirred for 2 h, poured in saturated aqueous NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Flash chromatography (Hex:EtOAc; 1:9) afforded the title compound as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, acetone-d6): δ 9.04 (d, 1H), 8.97 (dd, 1H), 8.75 (d, 1H), 8.50 (dd, 1H), 8.35–8.34 (m, 2H), 8.26 (d, 1H), 8.13 (s, 1H), 7.85 (dt, 1H), 7.82 (dt, 1H), 7.68 (t, 1H), 7.61 (dd, 1H), 5.15 (d, 1H), 4.20 (m, 1H), 2.76 (s, 3H), 2.03 (s, 6H), 1.37 (d, 3H).
