Triethylamine → (2S,5R)-5-ethynyl-1-{N-((2S)-2-hydroxycyclopentyl)glycyl}pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (2S,5R)-1-(chloroacetyl)-5-ethynylpyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile (0.040 g, 0.20 mmol, Example 8D) in acetonitrile (1 mL) at room temperature was added trans-2-aminocyclopentanol hydrochloride (56 mg, 0.41 mmol) and triethylamine (0.14 mL, 1.02 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours, concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by flash chromatography with 3% methanol:dichloromethane to provide the titled compound. MS (ESI) m/z 262 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (MeOH) 4.79 (m, 1H), 4.17-4.40 (m, 3H), 3.18 (m, 1H), 2.48 (m, 4H); 2.00-2.30 (m, 4H), 1.80 (m, 2H), 1.66 (2H, m).
