Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-cyclopentyl-2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-propionic acid (prepared as in Example 1, 0.133 g, 0.465 mmol) in methylene chloride (2.5 mL) cooled to 0° C. was treated with a 2M solution of oxalyl chloride in methylene chloride (0.3 mL, 1.0 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (1 drop). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min and then treated with a solution of 2-aminobenzothiazole (0.087 g, 0.58 mmol) in methylene chloride (2.5 mL) followed by N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.2 mL, 2.14 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with water (10 mL) and extracted with methylene chloride (3×10 mL). The combined organic layers were sequentially washed with water (1×10 mL), a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1×10 mL), a 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (1×10 mL), and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (1×10 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh, 80/20 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded the N-benzothiazol-2-yl-3-cyclopentyl-2-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-propionamide (0.082 g, 42%) as a white solid: mp 104-105° C.; EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C21H20Cl2N2OS (M+) 418.0673, found 418.0674.
