Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (0.082 mL, 0.94 mmol) is added dropwise to DMF (20 mL), and the resulting solution is cooled to 0° C. After the solution becomes clear, pyridine (0.15 mL, 1.88 mmol) is added, followed by N-[4-(3-methoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1(S)-(aminocarbonyl)butyl]-3-methyl-Nα-(2,2-diphenyl-acetyl)-L-phenylalaninamide (0.28 g, 0.47 mmol), in one portion. The yellow reaction solution is stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 hours, after which time it is diluted with EtOAc (50 mL), and washed with saturated NaHCO3 (1×50 mL), saturated LiCl (1×50 mL), dried over MgSO4, and evaporated. The residue is chromatographed (silica, 66% EtOAc/hexane) to yield N-[4-(3-methoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1(S)-cyanobutyl]-3-methyl-Nα-(2,2-diphenylacetyl)-L-phenylalaninamide as a white solid.
