Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of triphenylphosphine (213 mg, 0.84 mmol) in methylene chloride (12 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and then treated with N-bromosuccinimide (144 mg, 0.84 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min and then treated with the 3-cyclopentyl-2-[4-(5-methyl-tetrazol-1-yl)-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl]-propionic acid (150 mg, 0.4 mmol). The clear solution was stirred for 15 min at 0° C. and then allowed to warm to 25° C. where it was stirred for 2 h. The reaction mixture was then treated with 2-aminothiazole (122 mg, 1.22 mmol), and the resulting suspension was stirred for 15 h at 25° C. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo to remove methylene chloride, and the residue was diluted with ethyl acetate (30 mL) and a 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (30 mL). The two layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (1×20 mL). The combined organic extracts were successively washed with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (1×50 mL) and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (1×50 mL), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Biotage chromatography (FLASH 40S, Silica, 1/2 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded 3-cyclopentyl-2-[4-(5-methyl-tetrazol-1-yl)-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl]-N-thiazol-2-yl-propionamide (128 mg, 70%) as an amorphous solid: EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C20H21F3N6OS (M+) 450.1449, found 450.1454.
