Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (0.442 mL, 5.78 mmol) was added dropwise by syringe to an ice-cooled, stirring solution of tert-butyl 3-((4-chloro-2-ethyl-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)quinolin-6-yl)(hydroxy)(1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-5-yl)methyl)azetidine-1-carboxylate (0.356 g, 0.578 mmol, Intermediate 78) in dichloromethane (2.9 mL). After 20 minutes, the flask was removed from the cooling bath and allowed to warm to room temperature. After 18 hours, dichloromethane (15 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (10 mL) were added in sequence. The biphasic mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. The mixture was partitioned between water (10 mL) and dichloromethane (10 mL). The layers were separated. The organic layer was dried with sodium sulfate. The dried solution was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to afford an oily residue. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (5.8 mL). Triethylamine (0.401 mL, 2.89 mmol) and acetic anhydride (0.218 mL, 2.31 mmol) were added in sequence and the solution was heated to 46° C. After 2 hours, the reaction was cooled to room temperature. Dichloromethane (50 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution were added in sequence. The biphasic mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. The layers were separated. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and the dried solution was filtered. Celite® (4 g) was added to the filtrate and the solvents were removed by rotary evaporation to provide a free-flowing powder. The powder was loaded onto a silica gel column. Elution with dichloromethane initially, grading to 10% methanol-dichloromethane provided the title compound as a white solid. 1-(3-((4-Chloro-2-ethyl-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)quinolin-6-yl)(hydroxy)(1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-5-yl)methyl)azetidin-1-yl)ethanone was purified by chiral SFC [Chiracel OD-H column, 5 μm, 250 mm×20 mm, mobile phase: 60% carbon dioxide, 40% ethanol (containing 0.3% diisopropylamine)] to give two enantiomers. The first eluting enantiomer was Intermediate 79b and the second eluting enantiomer was Intermediate 79c.
