Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4R,5S)-4-(3-chlorophenyl)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(isopropylamino)hexan-1-ol (Example 418, Step F, 185 mg, 0.486 mmol) in wet acetonitrile (0.75% water v/v) (3 mL) at ambient temperature was added over three minutes a solution of periodic acid (0.44M in acetonitrile(0.75% water v/v), 2.76 mL, 1.216 mmol) with chromium trioxide (2.43 mg, 0.024 mmol). The reaction was stirred for fifteen minutes. To the reaction was added a solution of 0.6 g disodium hydrogen phosphate in 10 mL water. The aqueous mixture was extracted with toluene. The organic layer was washed with water/brine then with a solution of 0.2 g sodium hydrogen sulfite in 5 mL water. The organic layer was then dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated to afford a peach-colored foamy solid. The product was isolated by chromatography on silica (24 g RediSep® pre-packed silica gel column (Teledyne Isco, Lincoln, Nebr.)) eluting with 50-100% ethyl acetate gradient in hexane to afford the title compound as a colorless foam.
