Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(2,3-difluorophenyl)ethylamine (purity: 83 wt %, 253 mg), IPEA (1 mL), EDC (320 mg) and HOBT (226 mg) were added to a solution of 5-chloro-2-(3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene)valeric acid trifluoroacetate (250 mg) in DMF (5 mL), and the reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Water and ethyl acetate were added to the reaction solution and the organic layer was partitioned. The resulting organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (Carrier: Chromatorex™ NH, elution solvent: heptane-ethyl acetate system->ethyl acetate-methanol system) to obtain 5-chloro-2-(3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene)valeric acid (1-(3,5-difluorophenyl)ethyl)amide. Sodium hydride (containing mineral oil at 40%, 40 mg) was added to a solution of the resulting 5-chloro-2-(3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene)valeric acid (1-(3,5-difluorophenyl)ethyl)amide in DMF (5 mL), and the reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for 5 minutes. Water and ethyl acetate were added to the reaction solution and the organic layer was partitioned. The resulting organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (Carrier: Chromatorex™ NH, elution solvent: heptane-ethyl acetate system->ethyl acetate-methanol system), and the resulting oil was solidified with diethyl ether to obtain 80 mg of the title compound as a racemate. The compound (20 mg) was fractionated using CHIRALPAK™ AD-H manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd. (2 cm×25 cm: mobile phase: ethanol) to obtain the title optically active substance with a retention time of 23 minutes (8.7 mg; >99% ee) and the title optically active substance with a retention time of 25 minutes (7.0 mg; >90% ee). The physical properties of the compounds are as follows.
