Acetic Acid → 1-tert-Butyl 2-methyl (2S)-4-(4-{[(3,4-dichloro-5-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)carbonyl]amino}piperidin-1-yl)pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-BOC-trans-4-Hydroxy-L-proline methylester (0.20 g, 0.81 mM) and 3,4-dichloro-5-methyl-N-piperidin-4-yl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamide (free base of Intermediate 1), 0.16 g, 0.81 mM) were stirred in 1,2-dichloroethane (3.5 ml). Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.24 g, 1.1 mM) was added followed by acetic acid (0.05 ml). The reaction was stirred under nitrogen at room temperature overnight then diluted with ether and washed with 1 N sodium hydroxide. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give an orange oil. The oil was chromatographed using EtOAc to give the desired product as a light yellow solid.
