Reaction Steps

This compound was prepared via BOP coupling of (S)-3-cyclohexyl-2-(1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-propionic acid (prepared in Example 1, Step A, 287 mg; 1.0 mmol and 2-amino-benzimidazole (119 mg; 1.0 mmol) in a manner similar to that used for the preparation of (S)-3-cyclohexyl-2-(1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-N-thiazol-2-yl-propionamide (outlined in Example 9, Step B) to provide crude N-(5-Bromo-thiazol-2-yl)-3-cyclohexyl-2-(5,6-dichloro-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-propionamide. The crude product was purified by reverse-phase HPLC (Rainin Dynamax SD-1 instrument) using a gradient of 10% acetonitrile/water/0.1% trifluoroacetic acid to 100% acetonitrile on a C18 column. The combined fractions containing product were concentrated to remove most of the acetonitrile and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts were dried (sodium sulfate) and concentrated in vacuo to give 240 mg (60%) of N-(1H-Benzoimidazol-2-yl)-3-cyclohexyl-2-(1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-propionamide as a white solid: EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C24H26N4O2 (M+) 402.2056, found 402.2056.
