Ammonia → (5R)-1-(Chloroacetyl)-5-prop-1-yn-1-yl-L-prolinamide

Temperature

-15 °C

To a stirred solution of (5R)-1-(chloroacetyl)-5-propynyl-L-proline (1.10 g, 4.8 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (24 mL) at −15° C. under nitrogen was added 4-methylmorpholine (0.64 mL, 5.76 mmol), and then isobutyl chloroformate (0.81 mL, 6.24 mmol) over 10 minutes. A white precipitate formed. The reaction mixture was stirred at −15° C. under nitrogen for 30 minutes, and a solution of NH3 in dioxane (0.5M, 29 mL, 14.4 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at −15° C. for 30 minutes, warmed to room temperature, and stirred at that temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with 1M HCl to ˜pH 4 and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The extracts were combined, washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash column chromatography (60-75% ethyl acetate/hexane) provided the titled compound. MS (DCI) m/z 229 (M+H)+.
