Triethylamine → Rac-2-(4-{4-[(2-phenyl-5-trifluoromethyl-oxazole-4-carbonyl)-amino]-phenyl}-piperazine-1-carbonyl)-cyclopentanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-phenyl-5-trifluoromethyl-oxazole-4-carboxylic acid (4-piperazin-1-yl-phenyl)-amide hydrochloride (212 mg, 0.435 mmol), racemic trans-cyclopentane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid monoethyl ester (81 mg, 0.435 mmol) and triethylamine (305 μL, 2.17 mmol) in 5 mL 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone was added (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tris(dimethylamino) phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP, 202 mg, 0.456 mmol) in one portion and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (eluted with ethyl acetate/hexane) to yield rac-2-(4-{4-[(2-phenyl-5-trifluoromethyl-oxazole-4-carbonyl)-amino]-phenyl}-piperazine-1-carbonyl)-cyclopentanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester as an amorphous solid (236 mg, 93%). ES-MS calcd for C30H31F3N4O5 (m/e) 584.60, obsd 585 (M+H).
