Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1S,2S)-1-N-[5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazin-2-yl]cyclopentane-1,2-diamine hydrochloride (Intermediate 14; 100 mg, 0.35 mmol), 2-(difluoromethyl)benzoic acid (CAS number 799814-32-7; 61 mg, 0.35 mmol) and triethylamine (0.148 ml, 1.06 mmol) in DCM (2 ml) was added 1,3,5,2,4,6-trioxatriphosphorinane, 2,4,6-tripropyl-, 2,4,6-trioxide (CAS number 68957-94-8; 50% in ethyl acetate, 0.417 ml, 0.71 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. To this was then added further 1,3,5,2,4,6-trioxatriphosphorinane, 2,4,6-tripropyl-, 2,4,6-trioxide (CAS number 68957-94-8; 50% in ethyl acetate, 0.417 ml, 0.71 mmol) and stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was partitioned between DCM and a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate, filtered through a hydrophobic frit and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (silica, 0-100% ethyl acetate/petrol) and then triturated with diethyl ether to afford the title compound.
