Methanol → Trifluoroacetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl (S)-1-((1S,2R,4R)-2-acetamido-4-(isopropylamino)cyclohexyl)-2-oxopyrrolidin-3-ylcarbamate (30 mg, 0.07 mmol; see Example 1, Step 8) in methanol (3 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (30 mg of 50% wet catalyst). The flask was evacuated and back-filled with hydrogen from a hydrogen balloon. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 h under 1 atm hydrogen and then the catalyst was removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in isopropanol (3 mL) and charged sequentially with 4-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)quinazoline (19.4 mg, 1.2 eq) and diisopropylethylamine (18 mg, 2 eq). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by preparative reverse-phase HPLC to provide the title compound as its TFA salt (47 mg, 93%). LC/MS found [M+H]+=493. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD), δ ppm: 8.90 (1H, s), 8.81 (1H, s), 8.25-8.29 (1H, m), 7.96 (1H, d, J=8.65 Hz), 5.44 (1H, t, J=9.92 Hz), 4.42 (1H, d, J=2.54 Hz), 4.15-4.24 (1H, m), 3.90 (1H, t, J=8.65 Hz), 3.70-3.79 (1H, m), 3.46-3.62 (2H, m), 2.56-2.67 (1H, m), 2.33-2.47 (1H, m), 1.70-2.23 (9H, m), 1.35 (6H, d, J=6.10 Hz).
