Reaction Steps

Acid 11A (515 mg, 2.5 mmol) was dissolved in 10 ml of THF and at rt DEPC (1.1 equiv, 0.38 ml) and [2-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]-4-pyridyl]methanamine 21B (1.1 equiv., 737 mg) were added to the solution. The mixture was stirred at rt overnight then evaporated. The residue was dissolved in AcOEt (30 ml) and washed with water (1×20 ml) and brine. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The purification of the crude by chromatographic column (1:1 EtOAc:petroleum ether) afforded 200 mg of a pale yellow solid. Yield=15% 1HNMR (DMSO, 200 MHz) δ 1.74 (3H, d J=7.4 Hz), 3.06 (3H, s), 4.40 (2H, d, J=6 Hz), 6.83 (1H, q, J=7 Hz), 7.44 (5H, m), 7.83 (3H, m), 8.18 (2H, d, J=8.2 Hz), 8.59 (1H, d, J=5.2 Hz), 8.70 (1H, bt) [M+1] 524.3 (C24H21F4N3O4S requires 523.50).
