Reaction Steps

To a solution of 83 mg (0.17 mmol) of 2-((3R,5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-1-(pentan-3-yl)piperidin-3-yl)-N′-hydroxyacetimidamide (Example 82, Step C) in THF (4 mL) was added 50 mg (0.28 mmol) of 1,1′-thiocarbonyldiimidazole. The resulting yellow solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, and then was quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was dissolved in THF (4.5 mL), and 69 μL (0.56 mmol) of boron trifluoride etherate was added via syringe. The resulting light yellow solution was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 h, and then was quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. Purification of the residue by reversed phase prep. HPLC (Sunfire Prep C18 OBD 10 μm column, gradient elution of 55% MeCN in water to 85% MeCN in water over a 35 min period, where both solvents contain 0.1% TFA) provided the title compound as a white solid.
