Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-((3S,5R,6S)-1-((S)-1-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxy)butan-2-yl)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxopiperidin-3-yl)acetic acid (741 mg, 1.076 mmol; Example 127, Step B) in 10 mL of a 10% solution of MeOH in DCM at room temperature was added TMS-diazomethane (2.0M in ether) (807 μL, 1.614 mmol). Evolution of gas was observed and the yellow mixture was stirred at room temperature for 45 min. More TMS-diazomethane (2.0M in ether) (807 μL, 1.614 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 45 min. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (24 g column; eluent: 0 to 30% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the title compound.
