Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3R,5R,6S)-3-allyl-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)piperidin-2-one (Example 42, Step A) (78 mg, 0.22 mmol) in 480 μL of DMF was added potassium tert-butoxide (40 mg, 0.54 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 min and then treated with 1-bromo-2-methylpropane (82 μL, 0.76 mmol). After being stirred at 25° C. for 4 h, the reaction was quenched with sat. aqueous NaHCO3 and extracted (2×EtOAc). The combined organic layers were washed with sat. aq. NaCl and NaHCO3-solutions, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by silica gel prep plate (25% EtOAc/hexanes) provided the title compound as a colorless solid.
