Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-((3R,5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-1-((S)-1-oxobutan-2-yl)piperidin-3-yl)acetic acid (960 mg, 2.076 mmol; Example 210, Step A) in 1,2-dichloroethane (15 mL) was added 3-methylmorpholine (Enamine Ltd, Kiev, Ukraine) (0.471 mL, 4.15 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (880 mg, 4.15 mmol). After stirring overnight, the mixture was quenched with sat. aq. NH4Cl solution. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with sat. aq. NaCl solution, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent: 1 to 10% methanol/dichloromethane) to afford the title compound as the major diastereomer. Stereochemistry of the 3-morpholine stereocenter is unknown.
