2-(Pyrrolidinylcarbonyl)amino-5-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid (made analogously to Example 116 with pyrrolidine in place of iso-butylamine (2.9 g) was dissolved in DMF (40 mL). After cooling to 0° C., 4-methylmorpholine (3.2 mL) and glycine benzyl ester hydrogen chloride (5.6 g) were added. After 5 min, BOP Reagent (5.6 g) was added and the mixture was stirred at rt for 18 h. EtOAc was added along with 1 N HCl solution. The EtOAc layer was washed with 1 N HCl, NaHCO3 solution, and brine. The EtOAc was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated to a solid (2.6 g). This solid was dissolved in MeOH (14 mL) prior to the addition of 10% Pd/C. A hydrogen balloon was added and the solution was stirred for 1 h. The palladium was filtered and the solution was concentrated to give the title glycine derivative (2.0 g) as a white solid. MS found: (M+H)+=360.2.
