Reaction Steps

A solution of triphenylphosphine (48 mg, 0.183 mmol) in methylene chloride (700 μL) was cooled to 0° C. and then slowly treated with N-bromosuccinimide (33 mg, 0.183 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 10 min and then treated with 3-cyclopentyl-2-(3-fluoro-4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-propionic acid (prepared as in Example 135, 50 mg, 0.159 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 5 min and then allowed to warm to 25° C. where it was stirred for 30 min. The reaction mixture was then treated with 2-aminopyridine (33 mg, 0.35 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 15 h. The crude reaction mixture was directly purified by flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230–400 mesh, 2/1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) to afford 3-cyclopentyl-2-(3-fluoro-4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-N-pyridin-2-yl-propionamide (23.7 mg, 38%) as a pink solid: mp 76–79° C.; EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C20H23FN2O3S (M+) 390.1413, found 390.1420.
