Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-bromophenyl)piperazine (2.53 g, 10.5 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was added 2,2-difluorocyclopropanecarboxylic acid (1.92 g, 15.7 mmol) 1H-benzotriazol-1-ol (2.84 g, 21.0 mmol), N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-N′-ethylcarbodiimide (3.26 g, 21.0 mmol) and DIEA (7.31 mL, 42.0 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was then quenched with saturated ammonium chloride solution, extracted with ethyl acetate, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by chromatography on silica gel (0 to 75% EtOAc in hexanes, then 75 to 100% EtOAc in hexanes) provided the racemic compound. The racemate was then dissolved in 10% ethanol in heptane and the enantiomers were separated on an OD chiral column by eluting column with 30% ethanol in heptane. The first eluting peak was defined as enantiomer A and the second eluting peak was defined as enantiomer B.
