Diisopropylethylamine → 5-(3-Methylphenyl)-4-[(3-phenylpyrrolidin-1-yl)carbonyl]isoxazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-(3-methylphenyl)-isoxazole-4-carboxylic acid (46.9 mg, 0.231 mmol), 3-phenylpyrrolidine (40 mg, 0.271 mmol), O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (92.6 mg, 0.288 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (49.7 mg, 0.384 mmol) were mixed in dimethylformamide (1.5 mL) and stirred at room temperature over night. Solvent was evaporated in vacuo (0.5-1.0 mL) and the residue was taken up in dichloromethane (1 mL), filtered and purified by normal-phase chromatography (20-50% EtOAc:petroleum ether). The combined fractions were partitioned between H2O/acetic acid (pH 4) and ethyl acetate. The organic fractions were washed with H2O/brine and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound. HRMS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z calcd for C21H20N2O2: 332.1525, found 332.1531.
