Oxalyl chloride → (S)-1-(4-acetylphenyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl-[(R)-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethyl]amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 50 mg of 4-[(S)-3-[(R)-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethylamino]pyrrolidin-1-yl]benzoic acid hydrochloride (the compound obtained in Example 3.001) in 5 ml of methylene chloride (MeOH free) was added dropwise 43 μl of oxalyl chloride, and then, several drops of dimethylformamide were added to the mixture, and the resulting mixture was stirred under room temperature for 16 hours. The solvent was removed from the reaction mixture to obtain the residue. (2) To the compound obtained as mentioned above were added dimethylamine (82 μl of 2M THF solution) and 10 ml of methylene chloride to dissolve them, 70.2 μl of triethylamine was added to the mixture, and the mixture was stirred under room temperature for 16 hours. To the reaction mixture were added a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and chloroform, the mixture was stirred and the liquids were separated. The organic layer was dried and concentrated, and the residue was purified by NH silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate 7:1→0:1) to obtain 22.4 mg of N,N-dimethyl-4-[(S)-3-[(R)-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethylamino]pyrrolidin-1-yl]benzamide. (3) To a solution of 22.4 mg of N,N-dimethyl-4-[(S)-3-[(R)-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethylamino]pyrrolidin-1-yl]-benzamide dissolved in 1 ml of methylene chloride was added dropwise 3 ml of a solution of 4M hydrochloric acid in dioxane, and the mixture was stirred for a while. The reaction mixture was concentrated, t-butanol was added to the residue to dissolve the same, and freeze-dried to obtain 22.9 mg of N,N-dimethyl-4-[(S)-3-[(R)-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethylamino]pyrrolidin-1-yl]benzamide hydrochloride (Example 3.012 in the following Table A3).
