Reaction Steps

To racemic 1-(5-chloropyridin-2-yl)-1-(3-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-phenylethanamine (obtained as described in Example 1, Procedure 1) (55 mg, 0.14 mmol) in DCM (1 mL) was added pyridine (56 μL, 55 mmol) and (R)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-methoxy-2-phenylpropanoyl chloride (52 μL, 0.22 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 14 h and the reaction mixture filtered through a silica plug elution with DCM. (S)-N-((S)-1-(5-chloropyridin-2-yl)-1-(3-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-phenylethyl)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-methoxy-2-phenylpropanamide was crystallized from ether heptane.
