Thiophosgene → (R)-2-(4-(4-chlorobenzyl)-5-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-N-(2-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)pyrrolidine-1-carbothioamide

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of thiophosgene (0.23 mL, 3 mmol) in 50 mL of CH2Cl2 at 0° C. was added dropwise a mixed solution of 2-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-amine (0.528 g, 3 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.522 mL, 3 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C., warming up to room temperature within an hour. Then the mixture was cooled at 0° C. and to it was added a solution of the (R)-4-(4-chlorobenzyl)-3-ethyl-5-(pyrrolidin-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole HCl salt (1.05 g, 3 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.044 mL, 6 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) slowly. The resulting mixture was stirred 0° C. for 30 minutes, then at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was treated with sat. aqueous NaHCO3 (10 mL) and brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography purification (Hex/EtOAc with 10% of MeOH) afforded the desired product as yellow solid (0.4 g, 26.9%).
