Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl 2-((3R,5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-1-((S)-pent-1-en-3-yl)piperidin-3-yl)acetate (Example 415, Step B, 85 mg, 0.18 mmol) in THF (1 mL), t-butanol (1 mL) and water (1.5 mL) was added 4-methylmorpholine 4-oxide (63.0 mg, 0.54 mmol) and OsO4 (1.1 mg, 4.5 μmol). The reaction was stirred at rt overnight. The reaction was diluted with EtOAc (40 mL) and Na2S2O3 (20 mL, saturated aqueous solution). The separated aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (20 mL) and the combined organic extracts were washed with brine (20 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound as a 5:1 mixture of diastereomers.
