Reaction Steps

(R)-1-(3-methoxypropyl)-2-(piperidin-3-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (7D) (0.387 mmol, 0.120 g) was added to a 10 mL round-bottomed flask equipped for stirring under nitrogen. DMF (3 mL), (R)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-4-(naphthalen-2-yl)butanoic acid (0.387 mmol, 0.127 g) and N-methylmorpholine (1.55 mmol, 0.170 mL) were then added and the solution was allowed to stir at rt for 5 min. HATU (0.426 mmol, 0.162 g) was added and the resultant solution was stirred at room temperature for 3 hr. The reaction solution was then directly purified by preparative LC/MS (25-95% CH3CN in H2O). The resultant fractions were collected and the solvent was removed in-vacuo affording tert-butyl (R)-4-((R)-3-(1-(3-methoxypropyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)piperidin-1-yl)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-4-oxobutan-2-ylcarbamate (7E) as a clear oil (0.359 mmol, 0.210 g, 93% yield). ESI-MS: m/z 585.5 (M+Hr.
