Reaction Steps

A round bottom flask was charged with (2S,4R)-4-(4-fluorobenzyl)-N-(4-(4-fluorophenoxy)phenyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide hydrochloride (150 mg, 0.37 mmole, 1 eq), prepared as in Reference 6, 2H-1,2,3-triazole-2-ylacetic acid (51 mg, 0.40 mmole, 1.1 eq), HATU (152 mg, 0.40 mmole, 1.1 eq) and DMF (1 mL). DIEA (195 μL, 1.11 mmole, 3 eq) was added and the mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and deionized water. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The combined organics were washed with 5% lithium chloride (3×5 mL), 1N sodium bicarbonate (2×5 mL) and then deionized water (2×5 mL) and concentrated in vacuo. Product was purified from the residue via flash chromatography (silica, 5% MeOH, 95% EtOAc). Clean fractions were combined and concentrated in vacuo to afford Compound 50, (2S,4R)-1-(2-(2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)acetyl)-4-(4-fluorobenzyl)-N-(4-(4-fluorophenoxy)phenyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide (171 mg, 89% yield), as a white solid. Major isomer: 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-D6): σ 9.97 (s, 1H), 7.80 (s, 2H), 7.58-7.51 (m, 2H), 7.34-7.07 (m, 6H), 7.04-6.90 (m, 4H), 5.48 (q, 2H), 4.53-4.46 (m, 1H), 3.85-3.76 (m, 1H), 2.77-2.61 (m, 3H), 2.03-1.86 (m, 2H). MS (EI) for C28H25F2N5O3. found 517.9 (MH+).
