1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → morpholine-4-carboxylic acid [(S)-3,3-difluoro-1-((S)-1-hydroxymethyl-1-methyl-butylcarbamoyl)-4-phenyl-butyl]-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (S)-2-amino-2-methyl-pentan-1-ol hydrochloride (104.4 mg, 0.67 mmol), (S)-4,4-difluoro-2-[(morpholine-4-carbonyl)-amino]-5-phenyl-pentanoic acid (231 mg, 0.67 mmol), EDCI (154 mg, 0.8 mmol), HOBT (108 mg, 0.8 mmol) and Diisopropyl ethylamine (0.23 mL) in DMF (2 mL) is stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with cold 1N HCl, saturated NaHCO3 and then saturated NaCl solution. The organic phase is dried over MgSO4 and solvent evaporated under reduced pressure to give the crude product. Purification by Silica gel column chromatography, eluting with ethyl acetate and heptane mixture gives morpholine-4-carboxylic acid [(S)-3,3-difluoro-1-((S)-1-hydroxymethyl-1-methyl-butylcarbamoyl)-4-phenyl-butyl]-amide (223 mg, 75%).
