Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl (2S)-4-(2,5-difluorophenyl)-2-phenyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-1-carboxylate (5-5, 400 mg, 1.12 mmol, 1 equiv) in a 4:1 mixture of dichloromethane and trifluoroacetic acid (20 mL) was stirred for 30 minutes, then concentrated. The residue was dried via toluene azeotrope (2×10 mL), then dissolved in DMF (5 mL). Triethylamine (0.780 mL, 5.60 mmol, 5.00 equiv), N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-methyl-L-valine (388 mg, 1.68 mmol, 1.50 equiv), and PYBOP (874 mg, 1.68 mmol, 1.50 equiv) were added, and the resulting mixture was stirred at 23° C. for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (hexanes initially, grading to 40% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to yield the desired coupled, N-Boc-protected intermediate, which was dissolved in a 2:1 mixture of dichloromethane and trifluoroacetic acid. The resulting solution was allowed to stand for 30 minutes, then concentrated. The residue was purified by reverse-phase LC (H2O/CH3CN gradient w/0.1% TFA present). The desired fractions were partitioned between saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and ethyl acetate (2×50 mL), then the combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to provide (1S)-1-{[(2S)-4-(2,5-difluorophenyl)-2-phenyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]carbonyl}-2,2-dimethylpropylamine (16-1) as a white solid. 1H NMR (500 MD, CDCl3) major rotamer: δ 7.40 (t, 2H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.31 (m, 1H), 7.26 (d, 2H, J=7.8 Hz), 7.11-6.93 (m, 3H), 6.38 (s, 1H), 5.81 (m, 1H), 4.88 (m, 2H), 3.03 (s, 1H), 1.00 (s, 9H). LRMS m/z (M+H) 371.0 found, 371.2 required.
