Reaction Steps

A solution of hexahydro-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid amide hydrochloride in 50% CH2Cl2/CH3OH was treated with DOWEX Monosphere 550A (OH) anion-exchange resin to afford the free base. The DOWEX resin was filtered and the resulting solution was concentrated and used without further purification. To a solution of this hexahydro-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid amide (85 mg, 0.54 mmol) and K2CO3 (116 mg, 0.84 mmol) in tert-amyl alcohol (2.6 mL) was added 2-[4-(2-methanesulfonyl-ethyl)-phenoxy]-6-methyl-benzothiazole (120 mg, 0.34 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 80° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was filtered and washed with CH3OH. The resulting liquid was purified by preparative reverse phase HPLC to afford the title compound (11 mg, 5%).
