Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-cyano-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylic acid [4-(1-amino-1-methyl-ethyl)-2-cyclohex-1-enyl-phenyl]-amide acetic acid salt (as prepared in the previous step, 50.0 mg, 0.122 mmol) and DIEA (85.0 μL, 0.488 mmol) in 2 mL of CHCl3 was stirred at RT for 5 min before dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) (4.1 mg, 0.037 mmol) was added. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and a solution of acetyl chloride (10 μL, 0.15 mmol) in 2 mL of CHCl3 was added dropwise. The reaction was warmed to RT and stirred for 18 h under Ar. The mixture was treated with EtOAc (40 mL), washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (5 mL), brine (10 mL) and dried over Na2SO4. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure followed by flash chromatography of the residue on silica gel (1-2% MeOH/DCM) gave 7.6 mg (16%) of the title compound as a white solid. 1H-NMR (CD3OD; 400 MHz): δ 8.17 (s, 1H), 8.10 (d, 1H, J=8.6 Hz), 7.99 (s, 1H), 7.27 (dd, 1H, J=8.6, 2.3 Hz), 7.16 (d, 1H, J=2.3 Hz), 5.80 (m, 1H), 2.20-2.32 (m, 4H), 1.94 (s, 3H), 1.74-1.88 (m, 4H), 1.62 (s, 6H). Mass spectrum (ESI, m/z): Calcd. for C22H25N5O2, 392.2 (M+H). found 391.8.
