Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of adamantane-1,3-diamine (20 mg, 0.1 mmol; Zerenex Molecular Ltd., Greater Manchester, UK) in DCM (2 mL) was added DIEA (26 mg, 0.15 mmol), 1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (14 mg, 0.11 mmol), 5-methyl-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (15 mg, 0.11 mmol) and benzotriazol-1-yl-oxytripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (110 mg, 0.20 mmol). After stirring for 3 hours at rt, the reaction mixture was partitioned into dichloromethane and saturated sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified on a RP-HPLC/MS purification system (Gradient: acetonitrile in water, 25-95%, in 14 minutes with a cycle time of 5 min. A shallow gradient between 25-50% of acetonitrile was used between 0.75-3.3 min to separate close-eluting impurities. Flow rate: 100 mL/min. Mobile phase additive: 25 mM of ammonium formate.
