1,1'-Carbonyldiimidazole → benzyl (S)-2-((R)-3-((S)-1-(benzofuran-7-yl)-1-hydroxy-5-methoxypentyl)piperidine-1-carboxamido)-3-cyclopentylpropylmethylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-amino-3-cyclopentyl-propyl)-methyl-carbamic acid benzyl ester (87 mg, 0.3 mmol) and CDI (48.6 mg, 0.3 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) cooled to 0-5° C. was added DIEA (0.5 mL). After stirring for 30 minutes, a solution of (S)-1-(benzofuran-7-yl)-5-methoxy-1-((R)-piperidin-3-yl)pentan-1-ol (95.1 mg, 0.3 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (3 mL) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to rt and stirred overnight. The mixture was washed with water (10 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×15 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by prep HPLC to give benzyl (S)-2-((R)-3-((S)-1-(benzofuran-7-yl)-1-hydroxy-5-methoxypentyl)piperidine-1-carboxamido)-3-cyclopentylpropylmethylcarbamate (98.5 mg, 51.9%).
