Acetic Acid → 1-[2-(3-{5-[3-cyano-4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl}-2-ethylphenyl)ethyl]-L-proline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-{5-[2-ethyl-3-(2-oxoethyl)phenyl]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl}-2-(2-methylpropyl)benzonitrile (D31) (99 mg, 0.254 mmol) in Ethanol (15 mL) stirred at room temperature was added L-proline (117 mg, 1.017 mmol) and AcOH (0.15 mL, 2.62 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min, and sodium cyanoborohydride (31.9 mg, 0.508 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was continuously stirred overnight. The reaction was quenched with water and DCM was evaporated in vacuo. The mixture was extracted by EA/THF for 3 times. The combined organic solution was washed with brine, concentrated and purified by Mass Directed AutoPrep to afford 1-[2-(3-{5-[3-cyano-4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl}-2-ethylphenyl)ethyl]-L-proline (E59) (52 mg) as a off-white solid.
