Reaction Steps

N1-[(1S,2R)-3-amino-1-(3,5-difluorobenzyl)-2-hydroxypropyl]-5-methyl-N3,N3-dipropylisophthalamide acetic acid salt (XVI, EXAMPLE 168, 76 mg, 0.146 mmol) is dissolved in absolute ethanol (2 mL). 3-Furaldehyde (20 microL, 0.231 mmol) and triethylamine (30 microL, 0.215 mmol) are added via syringe, with stirring at 20-25 degrees C. After 10 minutes, palladium on carbon 122 mg, 5 weight %) is added and the mixture placed under a hydrogen atmosphere (50 psi) and shaken for 20 minutes. The resulting mixture is then filtered through diatomaceous earth, with ethanol washings. The filtrate is purified by flash chromatography (2-10% methanol/methylene chloride) to give purified title compound, MS (MH+)=542.2.
