Reaction Steps

To a solution of the product of Example 49, Step A (5.5 mg, 0.028 mmol) in DCM (3 mL) was added TEA (11 μL, 0.084 mmol), 2-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (7 mg, 0.031 mmol) and HATU (13 mg, 0.033 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The crude reaction mixture was concentrated and purified on 4 g SiO2 column with 0-3% NH3/MeOH CH2Cl2 to give the desired compound (9.9 mg, 87%).
