Diisopropylethylamine → 3-(1-Cyanocyclopropanecarboxamido)biphenyl-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-cyanocyclopropanecarboxylic acid (0.75 g, 7 mmol) in DCM (40 mL) was added HATU (3.5 g, 10 mmol) and DIPEA (3.4 mL, 20 mmol). After stirring at room temperature for 1 h, 3-aminobiphenyl-2-carboxamide (from example 218: 1 g, 5 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture stirred for an additional 16 h. The reaction mixture was washed with water and the organic phase dried, filtered, concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by silica gel chromatography (60% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to provide 3-(1-cyanocyclopropanecarboxamido)biphenyl-2-carboxamide (0.75 g, 74% yield) as a white solid. LCMS Method T: retention time 1.53 min; [M+1]=306.2.
