Participants

Reaction Steps

DIPEA (102 mg, 0.14 mL, 0.79 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 5-phenyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (37 mg, 0.19 mmol) in DMF (4 mL). HOBT (30 mg, 0.22 mmol) and EDCI (57 mg, 0.29 mmol) were then added at room temperature. After 2 minutes, 2-amino-1-[4-(2-trifluoromethyl-benzoyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-ethanone hydrochloride salt (prepared by the method as described above) (83.6 mg, 0.23 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Cold water was then added and filtered the solid precipitated to afford 69 mg (72% yield) of 5-phenyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid {2-oxo-2-[4-(2-trifluoromethyl-benzoyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-ethyl}-amide.
