Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

39.0 mg (0.98 mmol, 60% in mineral oil) of sodium hydride were suspended in 3.0 ml of abs. THF, the mixture was cooled to 0° C. and 301.8 mg (0.84 mmol) of methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide were added. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min, and 300 mg (0.65 mmol) of (+/−)-tert-butyl 1-(3-{[cyclopentyl(4-formylphenyl)acetyl]amino}benzyl)cyclopropanecarboxylate were then added. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT overnight and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up in acetonitrile and filtered, and the filtrate obtained was purified by preparative RP-HPLC (mobile phase acetonitrile/water). This gave 219.3 mg (73.4% of theory) of the target compound.
