Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 2-(3-methoxyphenoxy)acetic acid (100 mg, 0.549 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) was added DIEA (106 mg, 0.824 mmol), 1-amino-3-(3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)propan-2-ol (113 mg, 0.549 mmol) and Bop-Cl (168 mg, 0.66 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 16 hours then the reaction mixture was quenched with water (20 mL), extracted with DCM (3×20 mL). The combined extracts were washed with brine (20 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by prep-HPLC to afford the desired product (61 mg, Yield 32%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, MeOD) δ 7.21 (dd, J1=J2=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.17-7.03 (m, 4H), 6.59-6.51 (m, 3H), 4.52 (s, 2H), 4.05-4.01 (m, 1H), 3.77 (s, 3H), 3.73 (d, J=2.8 Hz, 2H), 3.47-3.37 (m, 2H), 2.92 (d, J=5.2 Hz, 2H), 2.87 (d, J=5.2 Hz, 2H), 2.61 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 2H). LCMS (m/z): 371.1 (M+1).
