Diisopropylethylamine → 1-{2-[((S)-1-((1S,2R,4R)-4-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)-2-propylcyclohexyl)-2-oxopyrrolidin-3-yl)carbamoyl]-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl}-3-ethylurea

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-3-amino-1-[(1S,2R,4R)-4-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)-2-propylcyclohexyl]pyrrolidin-2-one (77 mg, 0.26 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) was added N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.32 mL), 2-(3-ethylureido)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (80 mg) and HATU (129 mg). The reaction was stirred at RT for 14 h, diluted with water, filtered, and purified by RP-HPLC to afford 1-{2-[((S)-1-((1S,2R,4R)-4-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)-2-propylcyclohexyl)-2-oxopyrrolidin-3-yl)carbamoyl]-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl}-3-ethylurea. MS found: (M+H)+=554.4. [Note: for larger scale preparations, the reaction was frequently run with CH2Cl2 as a co-solvent, and the following aqueous workup was used before RP-HPLC purification. Volatiles were removed and the residue was dissolved in EtOAc. The organic phase was washed with sat. NaHCO3, water, 1N HCl, sat. NaCl, and then dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo.]
