Potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide → HCID 11584225, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl[2-amino-2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethyl]{[5′-isopropyl-2′-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-2-yl]methyl}carbamate (30 mg, 0.05 mmol) in THF (2 mL) was added potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (295 μL of a 0.5M solution in toluene, 0.147 mmol) The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and then quenched with saturated NH4Cl (15 mL). The resultant mixture was extracted with EtOAc (25 mL) and the organic layer was washed with H2O (15 mL) and brine (15 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography with 5% to 60% EtOAc/hexanes afforded 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-{[5′-isopropyl-2′-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-2-yl]methyl}imidazolidin-2-one. Rf=0.46 (5% MeOH/CH2Cl2). LCMS=503.1 (M+1)+. 1H NMR (C6D6, 600 MHz, atropisomers observed; doubling of peaks.) δ 7.90-7.03 (m, 6H), 6.89-6.20 (m, 4H), 4.69-3.88 (m, 3H), 3.16 (s, 3H), 2.88-2.30 (m, 3H), 1.18-1.13 (m, 6H).
