Methyl chloroformate → HCID 54407911, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl chloroformate (26 mg) in chloroform (2 mL) was added dropwise to a mixture of (S)-5-cyano-N-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-(3-pyrrolidinylamino)benzamide (80 mg) and triethylamine (43 mg) in a mixture of chloroform (2 mL) and 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (1 mL) under cooling on an ice bath. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at same temperature and the reaction was quenched by addition of 3-(N,N-dimethylamino)propylamine (0.1 mL). The mixture was concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 3.6% hydrochloric acid. The organic layer was washed with an aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography eluting with 70% ethyl acetate in hexane. The obtained crystals were recrystallized from a mixture of 2-propanol and diisopropyl ether to give (S)-5-cyano-N-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-[1-(methoxycarbonyl)pyrrolidin-3-ylamino]benzamide (55 mg) as white crystals.
