Reaction Steps

Zinc dust (1.30 g, 20.32 mmol) was added to a solution of (S)-1-[(S)-2-((S)-2-hydroxy-3-methyl-butyrylamino)-propionyl]-hexahydro-pyridazine-3-carboxylic acid 2,2,2-trichloro-ethyl ester (400 mg, 0.92 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL). This suspension was treated with a solution of ammonium acetate (1.10 g, 13.9 mmol) in water (7 mL). After stirring at room temperature for 16 h, zinc residues were filtered off and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated potassium hydrogen sulfate solution, the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×), the organic layers were combined and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residual acetic acid was azeotroped off with toluene (3×10 mL) to give crude (S)-1-[(S)-2-((S)-2-hydroxy-3-methyl-butyrylamino)-propionyl]-hexahydro-pyridazine-3-carboxylic acid which was combined with crude [(R)-1-(7-bromo-quinolin-2-yl)-ethyl]-methyl-amine hydrochloride in anhydrous acetonitrile (15 mL) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.801 mL, 4.60 mmol). This solution was then treated with 2-(1H-7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyl uronium hexafluorophosphate methanaminium (464 mg, 1.22 mmol). After stirring at room temperature for 2 h, the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and subsequently washed with saturated ammonium chloride solution and sodium bicarbonate solution. The organics were combined and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography using a 25 g Biotage cartridge eluted with a continuous gradient of iso-hexanes/acetone 1:0 to 0:1 to afford the title compound (318 mg, 58%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ 0.85 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 3H), 1.00 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 3H), 1.33 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 3H), 1.69 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 3H), 1.72-2.15 (m, 6H), 2.98 (s, 3H), 2.85-2.95 (m, 1H), 3.80-3.90 (m, 1H), 4.30-4.40 (m, 1H), 5.25-5.35 (m, 1H), 5.95-6.10 (m, 1H), 7.45-7.78 (m, 1H), 7.65-7.72 (m, 1H), 7.80-7.90 (m, 1H), 8.18-8-38 (m, 2H).
