Diisopropylamine → 2-(4-Bromo-phenyl)-3-cyclopentyl-propionic acid

Temperatur

-78 °C

A solution of diisopropylamine (7.7 mL, 54.88 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (23 mL) and 1,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone (10 mL) was cooled to −78° C. under nitrogen and then treated with a 2.5M solution of n-butyllithium in hexanes (22.0 mL, 54.88 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 30 min and then treated dropwise with a solution of 4-bromophenylacetic acid (5.62 g, 26.13 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (23 mL) and 1,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone (10 mL). The reaction mixture turned dark in color and was allowed to stir at −78° C. for 1 h, at which time, a solution of iodomethylcyclopentane (5.76 g, 27.44 mmol) in a small amount of dry tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to 25° C. where it was stirred for 24 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and then concentrated in vacuo to remove tetrahydrofuran. The aqueous residue was acidified using a 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution. The resulting aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh, 3/1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded 2-(4-bromo-phenyl)-3-cyclopentyl-propionic acid (3.88 g, 50%) as a light yellow solid: mp 91-93° C.; EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C14H17BrO2 (M+) 296.0412, found 296.0417.
