Biphenyl → (1,1'-Biphenyl)-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Biphenyl acid 10 (40 mg, 0.064 mmol, 1 eq) and HBTU (49 mg, 0.13 mmol, 2 eq) were dissolved in DMF (1 mL) followed by the addition of N,N-dimethyl-1-((2S,5R)-5-phenylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methanamine 250 (23 mg, 0.13 mmol, 2 eq). The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h, diluted with EtOAc and quenched with a saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution. The reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL) and the combined organics were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford an oil. The crude oil was purified by silica gel chromatography (2-5% MeOH/DCM, 0.1% Et3N) to afford 23 mg of biphenyl amide 247. Yield 45%.
