1-Phenylcyclopentanecarboxylic acid → N-[(3aS*,4R*,6aR*)-2-benzyloctahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrrol-4-yl]-1-phenylcyclopentanecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Hydroxybenzotriazole (33 mg, 0.24 mmol) and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N-ethylcarbodiimide (43 μL, 0.24 mmol) were added to a solution of 1-phenylcyclopentanecarboxylic acid (46 mg, 0.24 mmol) in dichloromethane (2 mL). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes, then (3aS*,6aR*)-2-benzyloctahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrrol-4-amine (52 mg, 0.24 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was quenched with water, and extracted with dichloromethane, then purified by silica gel chromatography using 1-10% methanol (2 N ammonia)/chloroform as eluent to give the title compounds.
