Triethylamine → N-[(1R,3S)-3-Isopropyl-3-({4-[6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]piperazin-1-yl}carbonyl)cyclopentyl]-3-methoxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1R,3S)-3-isopropyl-3-(4-[6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]piperazin-1-ylcarbonyl)cyclopentanamine dihydrochloride (110 mg, 0.24 mmol), 3-methoxytetrahydro-4H-pyran-4-one (80 mg, 0.61 mmol), and triethylamine (0.16 mL, 1.2 mmol) in methylene chloride (8 mL) was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (190 mg, 0.88 mmol). After being stirred at room temperature overnight, the reaction was quenched with saturated NaHCO3. The resulting solution was extracted with EtOAc three times. The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (EtOAc to EtOAc/Et3N=10:0.1) to give 123 mg of desired product as a mixture of two isomers. The two isomers were separated by chiral HPLC to give isomer 1 (45 mg after converting to TFA salt) and isomer 2 (35 mg after converting to TFA salt). LCMS calculated for C25H37F3N4O3: (M+H) 498.2; found 498.2 for both isomers.
