Participants

Reaction Steps

Prepared according to the procedure for 2-(5-Ethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)-N-[(1S,2S)-2-{[5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazin-2-yl]amino}cyclopentyl]benzamide (Example 135) from (1S,2S)-1-N-methyl-1-N-[5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazin-2-yl]cyclopentane-1,2-diamine hydrochloride (Intermediate 23; 452 mg, 1.74 mmol) and 2-(3-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)benzoic acid (CAS number 475105-77-2; 355 mg, 1.74 mmol) except after the reaction was complete it was partitioned between DCM and a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate, filtered through a hydrophobic frit. The organics were loaded directly on to a cation/anion mixed mode cartridge, eluted with DCM and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (silica, 0-100% ethyl acetate/petrol) and then recrystallised from MTBE/heptane to afford the title compound.
