Dichloromethane → Trifluoroacetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

98A (0.039 mmol, 0.025 g) was added to a 10 mL round-bottomed flask equipped for stirring under nitrogen. Dichloromethane (2 mL) and trifluoroacetic acid (2 mL) were then added and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 hrs. The solvent was removed in-vacuo affording a clear colored oil. This oil was re-dissolved in methanol (3 mL), filtered, and then purified by preparative LC/MS (0.5-50% CH3CN in H2O). The resultant fractions were collected and the solvent was removed in-vacuo affording a clear colored oil. This oil was re-dissolved in CH3CN (1 mL) and water (2 mL). The resultant solution was frozen and lyophilized to afford 4-((R)-2-amino-4-((R)-3-(1-(3-methoxypropyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)piperidin-1-yl)-4-oxobutyl)-N-cyclohexylbenzamide (203) as its trifluoroacetic acid salt and as a white flocculent solid. (0.009 mmol, 0.006 g, 24% yield). ESI-MS: 560.3 m/z (M+H)+.
