1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → 1-phenyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid {2-[3-(2-chloro-phenoxy)-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-2-oxo-ethyl}-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

DIPEA (167.9 mg, 1.3 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of [(1-phenyl-1H-imidazole-4-carbonyl)-amino]-acetic acid (prepared from Intermediate 68 by means of Step 3 of the General Scheme) (80 mg, 0.32 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) followed by HOBt (48.3 mg, 0.35 mmol) and EDCI (124 mg, 0.65 mmol). After 2 minutes of stirring, 3-(2-chloro-phenoxy)-pyrrolidine hydrochloride (prepared by the method used for the synthesis of Intermediate 72) (76 mg, 0.32 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with cold water, extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by recrystallisation from a mixture of DCM in hexane afforded 48 mg (34.7% Yield) of 1-phenyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid {2-[3-(2-chloro-phenoxy)-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-2-oxo-ethyl}-amide.
