Tributylphosphine → (R)-1-[5-(4-chlorophenoxy)pyrazin-2-yl]-5-(3-methoxyphenyl)pyrrolidin-2-one

Tri-n-butylphosphine (0.178 mL, 0.72 mmol) is added to a solution of di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate (167 mg, 0.72 mmol) in dry THF (1.5 mL) at room temperature. The resulting mixture is stirred for 5 min at room temperature, then added dropwise to a solution of (S)—N-[5-(4-chlorophenoxy)pyrazin-2-yl]-4-hydroxy-4-(3-methoxyphenyl) butanamide (194 mg, 0.47 mmol) in THF (1.5 mL) at 0° C. and under argon. The reaction mixture is allowed to warm slowly to ambient temperature and stirred for 1.5 h, then partitioned between saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (5 mL) and CH2Cl2 (10 mL). The aqueous layer is extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×10 mL). The combined organic extracts are dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is then purified on silica gel (0-33% ethyl acetate in hexane) to give (R)-1-[5-(4-chlorophenoxy)pyrazin-2-yl]-5-(3-methoxyphenyl)pyrrolidin-2-one (130 mg, 70%) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 9.11 (d, J=1.2 Hz), 7.99 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.37-7.31 (m, 1H), 7.22 (t, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.07-7.02 (m, 2H), 6.81-6.72 (m, 3H), 5.68 (dd, J=8.2, 3.8 Hz, 1H), 3.77 (s, 3H), 2.89-2.74 (m, 1H), 2.72-2.57 (m, 2H), 2.10-1.99 (m, 1H).
