Reaction Steps

A mixture of 13.5 mg [1-(4′-ethoxy-biphenyl-2-yl)-ethyl]-(2-ethoxy-ethyl)-amine (43.1 μmol, 1.00 equiv), 10.5 mg 4′-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid (51.7 μmol, 1.20 equiv), 9.9 mg EDC (51.7 μmol, 1.20 equiv), and 1.0 mg HOBT (7.4 μmol, 0.18 equiv) dissolved in 2.0 mL dichloromethane was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. To the reaction solution was added 5 mL aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The aqueous layer was diluted with water to 15 mL and extracted with dichloromethane (2×20 mL). The combined organic separations were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to yield a yellow oil. The crude product was adsorbed onto a column of silica gel (3.5 cm o.d.×10 cm h) and eluted with 17% to 25% ethyl acetate gradient in hexane. Fractions containing product were combined and concentrated in vacuo to afford 12.8 mg purified product as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (d6-DMSO; T=140° C.) δ1.04 (t, 3H, J=6.8 Hz), 1.34 (t, 3H, J=6.8 Hz), 1.44 (d, 3H, J=7.2 Hz), 3.00-3.06 (m, 1H), 3.17-3.36 (m, 6H), 3.49 (d, 1H, J=16.0 Hz), 4.07 (q, 2H, J=6.8 Hz), 5.43 (q, 1H, J=7.2 Hz), 6.92-6.96 (m, 2H), 7.13-7.18 (m, 3H), 7.22-7.26 (m, 2H), 7.34 (ddd, 1H, J1=1.2 Hz, J2=7.6 Hz, J3=8.4 Hz), 7.39 (ddd, 1H, J1=2.0 Hz, J2=7.6 Hz, J3=9.2 Hz), 7.53-7.59 (m, 3H) ppm. At room temperature, compound exists as a mixture of cis/trans amide rotamers in ca. 2:1 ratio as determined by integration of characteristic 1H NMR signals (CDCl3; T=25° C.) δmajor 5.19 (q, 2.1H, J=7.2 Hz) and δminor 5.89 (q, 1.0H, J=7.6 Hz) ppm. MS (ESI, positive mode) 500.1 [MH]+
