Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-1-cyclopentyl-3-(1-(4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1-(3-fluoro-5-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl)-2-phenylethyl)urea (20 mg, 0.033 mmol), prepared as described in Procedure 3, 4, 5, 6 and 2, in DMSO/THF (0.1 mL/0.1 mL) was added N-methylcyclopentanamine (32 mg, 0.33 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred at 120° C. under microwave irradiation for 1800 sec. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solid was washed with EtOAc. The filtrate was then washed with H2O, sat. NaCl and dried over Na2SO4. The organic solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was purified by prep HPLC (Phenomenex AXIA Luna 75×30 mm, 5μ column eluting with 10-90% ACN/H2O over 10 minutes containing 0.1% TFA; 40 mL/min, monitoring at 220 nm) to afford (R)-1-cyclopentyl-3-(1-(4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1-(3-fluoro-5-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl)-2-phenylethyl)-1-methylurea (Example 246) as white lyophillate (13 mg, 65% yield). LCMS: [M+H] 619.2 (Phenomenex Luna C18 column, 4.6×50 mm eluting with 10-90% MeOH/H2O over 4 minutes containing 0.1% TFA; 4 mL/min, monitoring at 220 nm).
