Reaction Steps

(2S,4R)-4-(Benzyloxy)-2-isopropylpyrrolidine (0.410 g, 1.90 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (30 mL) under nitrogen. (3-Trifluoromethyl-benzoylamino)-acetic acid (0.462 g, 1.90 mmol) was added followed by EDC (0.394 g, 2.06 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature-overnight. LC/MS revealed the reaction was not yet complete. More (3-Trifluoromethyl-benzoylamino)-acetic acid (0.12 g, 0.48 mmoles) and more EDC (0.30 g, 1.6 mmoles) were added and stirring continued for 3 hours at room temperature, then at reflux for 1.5 hours. The mixture was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with 30% ethyl acetate/hexane to provide 0.66 g (79%) of the coupled product as a colorless oil. LC/MS (M+H)+ m/z=449.2; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 8.03 (m, 1H), 7.76 (m, 1H), 7.58 (m, 2H), 7.34 (m, 5H), 4.52 (m, 2H), 4.03-4.34 (m, 4H), 3.65 (m, 1H), 3.48 (m, 1H), 2.54 (m, 1H), 2.12 (m, 1H), 1.92 (m, 1H), 0.92 (d, 3H), 0.77 (d, 3H).
