1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → 2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-4-(4-phenyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-N-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)butanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-4-(4-phenyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)butanoic acid (304.6 mg, 0.945 mmol, 1 eq) in DCM (10 mL) was added TEA (172 mg, 1.70 mmol, 0.237 mL, 1.80 eq), EDCI (254 mg, 1.32 mmol, 1.4 eq), HOBT (260 mg 1.70 mmol, 1.80 eq) and O— tetrahydro-2-H-pyran-2-ylhydroxylamine (166 mg, 1.42 mmol, 1.5 eq). The reaction was allowed stir at RT overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with DCM and water. The aqueous layer was extracted several times with DCM and the combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. The crude product mixture was absorbed onto silica gel and purified by flash chromatrography on silica gel eluting with an EtOAc-heptane gradient to give 2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-4-(4-phenyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-N-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)butanamide (24 mg, 6% yield). LC-MS M+H+422.6.
