Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (3R,5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl)-1-((S)-1-(ethylsulfonyl)pentan-3-yl)-3-methylpiperidin-2-one (70.0 mg, 0.115 mmol; Example 202, Step C) in THF (1.15 mL) at 25° C. was added a solution of Jones' Reagent (chromium (VI) oxide) (138 μL, 0.172 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was partitioned between water and EtOAc (2×), and then the combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by reverse phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (Eclipse column (Agilient Technologies, Santa Clara, Calif.), eluent: 30-75% acetonitrile/water) provided the title compound as an off-white solid.
