Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.2 g (0.434 mmol) of (5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-((S)-1-(cyclopropylmethoxy)butan-2-yl)-3-methylpiperidin-2-one (Example 68, Step C, mixture of diastereomers) and allyl bromide (0.147 mL, 1.737 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added LHMDS, (1.0M solution in THF, 1.3 mL, 1.3 mmol) at RT. Let it stir at RT for 5 min. Then the reaction mixture was heated at 50° C. for 3 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with satd. NH4Cl. and extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were washed with water and sat. aq. NaCl solution, dried over MgSO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by chromatography, eluting with a gradient of 0% to 20% EtOAc in hexane, to provide the title compound as a colorless oil.
