Chloroacetyl chloride → HCID 70980697, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 6-(1,1-difluoro-butyl)-3,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine (100 mg, 0.42 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) and pyridine (0.5 mL) at 0° C. was treated with chloroacetyl chloride (0.036 mL, 0.46 mmol). After 2 h the solution was treated with (2R,5S)-2-methyl-5-morpholin-4-ylmethyl-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (124 mg, 0.42 mmol) and further pyridine (0.5 mL). After overnight stirring at room temperature no coupling had occurred: the mixture was concentrated in vacuo, diluted with DMF (3 mL), treated with DMAP (1 mg) and heated to 75° C. After 6 h, LC/MS showed ˜80% progression. The mixture was cooled and partitioned between DCM and water. The aqueous phase was extracted with DCM. The combined organic phases were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated to dryness. Purification by preparative HPLC gave a pale brown glass (30 mg, 12%). MS: [M+H]+=580
