Diphenylphosphinic chloride → ethyl 5-((2R,3S,4R,5S)-3-(3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-4-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-4-cyano-5-neopentylpyrrolidine-2-carboxamido)pyrazine-2-carboxylate

Reaction Steps

A solution of rac-(2R,3S,4R,5S)-3-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-cyano-5-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (79.9 mg, 0.171 mmol) in dichloromethane (3 ml) was treated with DIPEA (89.0 mg, 0.685 mmol) and DIPHENYLPHOSPHINIC CHLORIDE (103 mg, 0.428 μmol, Aldrich) and stirred for 30 mins under argon before 5-AMINO-PYRAZINE-2-CARBOXYLIC ACID ETHYL ESTER (30.4 mg, 0.173 mmol, Ark Pharm) was added and the reaction was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane and extracted with H2O. The organic layer was washed with sat NaHCO3, H2O, and sat NaCl and purified by flash chromatography using ethyl acetate and n-hexanes to give ethyl 5-((2R,3S,4R,5S)-3-(3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-4-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-4-cyano-5-neopentylpyrrolidine-2-carboxamido)pyrazine-2-carboxylate (27.6 mg, 26%) which was used in the next step.
