Diisopropylethylamine → 2-[(2S)-2-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)pent-4-enyl]-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphtho[1,2-f][1,4]thiazepine-6-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-cyano-2-[(2-{[(2S)-2-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)pent-4-enyl]amino}ethyl)thio]-1-naphthoic acid (Intermediate 6, 135 mg, 0.28 mmol) in dry acetonitrile (6 mL) under nitrogen at 0° C. was added diisopropylethyl amine (146 μL, 0.84 mmol) and bis(2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl)phosphinic chloride (BOP-Cl, 86 mg, 0.34 mmol). Stirring was continued for 45 min as the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL), washed with 0.5 N HCl and brine, dried (Na2SO4), and evaporated to a residue which was chromatographed on silica gel in 25–40% EtOAc/Hexanes to give 85 mg of partially purified material. A portion (50 mg) of this material was chromatographed on silica gel in 20% EtOAc/Hexanes to give 35 mg of the title compound.
