Reaction Steps

Commercially available 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylbenzylamine (572 mg, 2.7 mmol) was dissolved in 20 ml of AcOEt and at 0° C. triphosgene (809 mg, 2.7 mmol) was added to the solution. The mixture was warmed at 80° C. for 4 hours then evaporated and dissolved in 5 ml of DMF. The solution of the isocyanate was added dropwise to a solution in DMF (5 ml) of compound 1b (270 mg, 1.8 mmol) and the mixture was warmed at 80° C. for 8 hours. (TLC AcOEt). The solvent was evaporated and the crude 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 residue by chromatographic column gave 70 mg of a white solid. Yield=10% 1HNMR (DMSO, 400 MHz) δ 4.45 (2H, d, J=6 Hz), 6.97 (2H, d, J=4.4 Hz), 7.07 (2H, m), 7.63 (1H, d, J=8 Hz), 7.74 (2H, d), 7.86 (1H, s), 8.61 (1H, bs), 10.90 (1H, bs); [M+1] 386.6 (C16H11ClF3N3O3 requires 385.7).
