Reaction Steps

A mixture of (1S,4S)-5-(1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclopropanecarbonyl)-2-oxa-5-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-3-one (Example 457a; 10.578 g), 1-aminocyclopropanecarbonitrile hydrochloride (5.94 g), sodium 2-ethylhexanoate (9.44 g) in water (54 mL) was stirred at 52-54° C. for 20 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with 36 mL tetrahydrofuran. Concentrated hydrochloric acid (1.9 mL) and sodium chloride (18.09 g) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 15 min, then extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude mixture was crystallized in a mixture of ethyl acetate and heptane to yield 11.94 g (88%) of the title compound as a white solid. MS (ESI): m/z=374.12 [M+H]+.
