(1,1'-Biphenyl)-3-carboxylic acid → Biphenyl-3-carboxylic acid {2-oxo-2-[4-(2-trifluoromethyl-benzoyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-ethyl}-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

DIPEA (78 mg, 0.61 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 2-amino-1-[4-(2-trifluoromethyl-benzoyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-ethanone TFA salt (104 mg, 0.24 mmol) in DMF (1 mL). HOBT (33 mg, 0.24 mmol) and EDCI.HCl (46 mg, 0.24 mmol) were then added at room temperature. After 2 minutes, 3-phenyl benzoic acid (40 mg, 0.20 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hrs. Cold water was then added and the product was extracted with EtOAc and the organic layer was washed with brine. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 70 mg (70% yield) of biphenyl-3-carboxylic acid {2-oxo-2-[4-(2-trifluoromethyl-benzoyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-ethyl}-amide. LCMS Purity: 95.7%, 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 8.8 (t, 1H), 8.2 (s, 1H), 7.9-7.8 (m, 3H), 7.8-7.6 (m, 4H), 7.6-7.4 (m, 4H), 7.4 (m, 1H), 4.2 (m, 2H), 3.8-3.6 (m, 4H), 3.5-3.4 (m, 2H), 3.2-3.0 (m, 2H).
