Reaction Steps

5-Ethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine dihydrochloride (Intermediate 32, 26 mg, 0.11 mmol) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF, 0.75 mL) containing N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.046 mL, 34 mg, 0.26 mmol). (3R)-3-(tert-Butoxycarbonylamino)4 (2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butanoic acid (Intermediate 3, 36 mg, 0.11 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (16 mg, 0.12 mmol), and a portion of molecular sieve pellets (4 Å) were added, followed 10 min later by 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (33 mg, 0.17 mmol). After stirring for 16 h at room temperature, the mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate (25 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (10 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous brine (10 mL) and the aqueous layers were extracted in succession with ethyl acetate (25 mL). The organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, decanted, and evaporated. Purification by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 15-20% ethyl aceate/0.75-1.0% methanol/dichloromethane) gave the title compound as a mixture of diastereomers. Separation was accomplished by EPLC using a Chiralcel OJ column, eluting with 8% ethanol in hexanes. The first-eluting diastereomer was used in Step B to produce the more active final product. LC/MS: 501 (M+Na).
