Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of triphenylphosphine (238 mg, 0.91 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and then treated with N-bromosuccinimide (183 mg, 1.03 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. until it became homogeneous. The resulting light purple reaction mixture was then treated with 2(R)-(3-chloro-4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-3-cyclopentyl-propionic acid (prepared as in Example 19, 200 mg, 0.61 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 20 min and then allowed to warm to 25° C. where it was stirred for 30 min. The reaction mixture was then treated with 2-aminobenzimidazole (121 mg, 0.91 mmol) and pyridine (0.15 mL, 1.82 mmol), and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with water (15 mL) and extracted with methylene chloride (3×15 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Biotage chromatography (FLASH 40S, Silica, 60/40 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded the N-(1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-(R)-(3-chloro-4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-3-cyclopentyl-propionamide (150 mg, 56%) as a light brown solid: mp >215° C.; [α]23589=−21.9° (c=0.041, chloroform); EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C22H24ClN3O3S (M+) 445.1227, found 445.1235.
