Reaction Steps

To a solution of 300 mg (0.61 mmol) of 2-((3R,5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-((S)-1-ethoxy-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-2-oxopiperidin-3-yl)acetic acid (Example 3) in 12 mL of Et2O was added lithium tetrahydroborate (39.8 mg, 1.83 mmol) at 0° C. After being stirred for 20 min, methanol (37.0 μl, 914 μmol) was added at 0° C. and the resulting solution was stirred at 25° C. for 2 h. The reaction was quenched (10% citric acid), extracted (2×EtOAc) and washed (1×sat. aq. NaCl solution). The combined organic layers were washed with sat. NaCl solution, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by reversed phase preparatory HPLC (Gemini™ Prep C18 5 μm column, Phenomenex, Torrance, Calif.; eluent: 35 to 75% acetonitrile +0.1% TFA in water +0.1% TFA, gradient elution) provided the title compound as a white foam.
