Diisopropylethylamine → (1R,2S,5R)-5-Methyl-2-(propan-2-yl)cyclohexyl N-[(1S,2S)-2-methyl-2-{[5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazin-2-yl]amino}cyclopentyl]carbamate

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazine (CAS number 799557-87-2; 0.816 ml, 6.61 mmol), (1R,2S,5R)-5-methyl-2-(propan-2-yl)cyclohexyl N-(2-amino-2-methylcyclopentyl)carbamate hydrochloride (Intermediate 27; 2.00 g, 6.01 mmol) and DIPEA (3.15 ml, 18.02 mmol) in DMSO (10 mL) was subjected to microwave irradiation at 140° C. for 5 hours. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 ml) and a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate (50 m). The organics were washed with water (40 ml), brine (40 ml), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered through a hydrophobic frit and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica, 0-20% ethyl acetate/petrol) to afford the title compound
