Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-((3R,5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-1-((S)-1-morpholinobutan-2-yl)-2-oxopiperidin-3-yl)acetaldehyde (Example 91, Step E) (125 mg, 0.242 mmol) in acetone (2 mL) was added 3 mL of a mixture of CrO3 in water (2 mL) and concentrated H2SO4 (1 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then diluted with water (10 mL) and ethyl acetate (10 mL) and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with additional ethyl acetate (10 mL). The combined organic layers were concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by reversed phase preparatory HPLC (column: Gemini-NX C18 5 um column; Phenomonex, Torrance, Calif.; eluent: 0 to 100% MeCN +0.1% TFA in water +0.1% TFA) to provide the title compound.
