Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (50 mg of a 60% dispersion in mineral oil, 1.25 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 5-amino-3-methylisoxazole in THF. After 5 minutes di-2-pyridyl thionocarbonate (290 mg, 1.25 mmol) was added. Stirring was continued for a further 10 minutes then methyl [trans-4-(4-{[hydrazino(oxo)acetyl]amino}phenyl)cyclo-hexyl]acetate (Intermediate 43) (333 mg, 1.00 mmol) was added followed by DMF (5 mL). The mixture heated to 85° C. for 15 minutes then EDAC (240 mg, 1.25 mmol) was added. After a further 1 h at 85° C. volatile material was removed by evaporation and the residue was redissolved in MeOH (5 mL), THF (2.5 mL) and NaOH (3 mL of a 2M aqueous solution) and stirred for 16 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure then redissolved in water (10 mL) and acidified with HCl (2M aqueous solution) to ca pH 5. The resulting precipitate was centrifuged, washed with water, dried under reduced pressure and triturated with ether to give the title compound (83 mg, 20%) as a solid; 1H NMR δ 1.02-1.20 (m, 2H), 1.36-1.54 (m, 2H), 1.65-1.88 (m, 5H), 2.13 (d, 2H), 2.24 (s, 3H), 2.39-2.48 (m, 1H), 6.10 (s, 1H), 7.24 (d, 2H), 7.69 (d, 2H), 11.00 (s, 1H), 12.11 (s, 1H); MS m/e MH+ 426.
