Reaction Steps
To a solution of (R)-1-(3-cyclopropoxy-4-fluorophenyl)-1-(3-fluoro-5-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl)-2-phenylethanamine, prepared as described in Procedure 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 161, (24 mg, 0.05 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (0.5 mL) was added 2-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-oxazole-4-carboxylic acid (12 mg, 0.06 mmol), followed by PyBrOP (28 mg, 0.06 mmol) and iPr2NEt (9 mg, 0.065 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 72 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by prep HPLC (Phenomenex Luna 5μ 30×100 mm, eluting with 10%-90% MeOH/H2O containing 0.1% TFA, gradient time 10 min, flow rate 40 mL/min) to yield (R)—N-(1-(3-cyclopropoxy-4-fluorophenyl)-1-(3-fluoro-5-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl)-2-phenylethyl)-2-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)oxazole-4-carboxamide (Example 347) as a white solid (23 mg, 70% yield). HPLC: RT=2.18 min [M+H] 659.5 (Phenomenex Luna C18 column, 4.6×50 mm eluting with 10-90% MeOH/H2O over 2 minutes containing 0.1% TFA; 5 mL/min, monitoring at 220 nm); 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.79, s, 1H, 7.10-7.20, m, 3H, 6.90-7.03, m, 5H, 6.70, s, 1H, 6.68, s, 1H, 6.55-6.58, m, 1H, 5.74-6.00, t, J=52; 4.15, 4.19, d, J=16, 1H, 3.66-3.69, d, J=12, 1H, 3.51-3.54, m, 1H, 0.73-0.80, m, 1H, 0.61-0.69, m, 2H, 0.55-0.60, m, 1H.
