Diisopropylethylamine → N1-{(1S,2R)-1-(3,5-difluorobenzyl)-3-[(3-ethylbenzyl)amino]-2-hydroxypropyl}-5-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)-N3,N3-dipropylisophthalamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-[(dipropylamino)carbonyl]-5-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzoic acid (250 mg, 0.79 mmol), diisopropylethylamine (103 mg, 0.8 mmol), and HBTU (330 mg, 0.87 mmol) in methylene chloride (5 mL) is added a mixture of (2R,3S)-3-amino-4-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-1-[(3-ethylbenzyl)amino]butan-2-ol prepared by the method of EXAMPLE SP-272 (322 mg, 0.79 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (206 mg, 1.6 mmol) in methylene chloride (5 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 h and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL), washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, and brine, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 5:95 methanol/methylene chloride) provides the title compound in pure form. APCI MS m/z 632.3 [M+H]+.
