Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-cyclopentyl-2-(4-pyridin-2-ylethynyl-phenyl)-propionic acid (150 mg, 0.47 mmol), benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (332 mg, 0.75 mmol), triethylamine (0.20 mL, 1.41 mmol) and 2-aminothiazole (75 mg, 0.75 mmol) in methylene chloride (5 mL) was stirred at 25° C. for 18 h. At this time, the reaction was diluted with water (10 mL). The organic phase was separated and washed with a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. The aqueous layers were each back-extracted with methylene chloride. The combined organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh, 60/40 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded 3-cyclopentyl-2-(4-pyridin-2-ylethynyl-phenyl)-N-thiazol-2-yl-propionamide (134 mg, 71%) as a pale yellow solid: mp 185-187° C.; EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C24H23N3OS (M+) 401.1561, found 401.1555.
