Reaction Steps

A solution of 2(R)-(3-chloro-4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-3-(4-oxo-cyclohexyl)-propionic acid (prepared as in Example 60, 200 mg, 0.56 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (192 mg, 0.73 mmol) in methylene chloride (4.0 mL) cooled to 0° C. was treated with N-bromosuccinimide (128 mg, 0.73 mmol) in small portions. After the complete addition of N-bromosuccinimide, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to 25° C. over 30 min. The bright orange reaction mixture was then treated with 2-amino-5-chloropyrazine (145 mg, 1.12 mmol) and 2,6-lutidine (0.28 mL, 2.24 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 4 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with methylene chloride (25 mL) and was successively washed with a 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (1×20 mL), a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (1×20 mL) and water (1×20 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Biotage chromatography (FLASH 40S, Silica, 13/7 hexanes/ethyl acetate to 2/3 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded 2(R)-(3-chloro-4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-N-(5-chloro-pyrazin-2-yl)-3-(4-oxo-cyclohexyl)-propionamide (137 mg, 52%) as a light yellow foam: [α]23589=−27.35° (c=0.49, chloroform); EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C20H21Cl2N3O4S (M+H)+ 470.0703, found 470.0705.
