Reaction Steps

A 1.899 g (3.99 mmol) sample of 75 in CH2Cl2 (20 ml) was treated with anhydrous TFA (5 ml) then stirred at room temperature under N2 for 1 hour and evaporated to dryness. The residue was repeatedly concentrated from CH2Cl2 (3×) then dried under vacuum. The resulting residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (20 ml), cooled to 0° C., then treated with DIEA (5.6 ml, 8 eq, 32.1 mmol), 4-amino-3-chloro-benzoic acid (0.910 g, 5.3 mmol), HOBT (0.824 g, 6.1 mmol), and EDC (1.197 g, 6.23 mmol). The resulting mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 18 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue dissolved in EtOAc then washed with distilled water (3×), 0.5N NaHSO4 (2×), saturated NaHCO3 (2×) and brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to give a residue that was purified by flash chromatography using CH2Cl2/MeOH (99/1 to 97/3%). The title compound was obtained as a white solid (1.221 g, 58% yield). 1H-NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD) 1.15 (d, 0.25H), 1.29-1.60 (m, 2.75H), 2.41-2.54 (m, 0.5H), 2.55-2.70 (m, 0.5H), 2.77 (dd, 0.5H), 3.03 (ddd, 0.5H), 3.59-3.75 (m, 1H), 3.75-3.98 (m, 1H), 4.26-5.01 (m, 5H), 5.41-5.57 (m, 1H). 5.60-5.76 (m, 0.5H), 6.70-6.92 (m, 0.5H), 7.15-7.48 (m, 5H), 7.48-7.68 (m, 1H), 7.68-7.88 (m, 1H), 8.15-8.34 (m, 1H). Analytical HPLC (cyano column) (mixture of 2 diastereomers) 14.44, 14.89 min. LC-MS (ES+) m/e=529.3 (M+H).
