Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-[(dipropylamino)carbonyl]-5-[1-(ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]benzoic acid (177 mg, 0.47 mmol), diisopropylethylamine (651 mg, 0.5 mmol), and HBTU (209 mg, 0.55 mmol) in methylene chloride (5 mL) is added a mixture of (2R,3S)-3-amino-4-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-1-[(3-ethylbenzyl)amino]butan-2-ol prepared by the method of Example SP-272 (196 mg, 0.48 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (130 mg, 1.0 mmol) in methylene chloride (5 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 15 h and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL), washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, and brine, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 5:95 methanol/methylene chloride) provides the title compound. APCI MS m/z 690.3 [M+H]+.
