Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(piperidin-4-ylmethyl)-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzamide (48 mg, 0.14 mmol), TEA (95 μL, 0.68 mmol), and (R)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (20.66 mg, 0.16 mmol) in DMF (1.5 mL) was treated with a solution of HATU (77 mg, 0.20 mmol) in DMF (1 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight then transferred to a test tube containing saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (4 mL) and EtOAc (4 mL). The biphasic mixture was mixed vigorously and allowed to separate for 15 min. After separation, the mixture was cooled to −20° C. until the aqueous layer was frozen. The organic layer was then poured off and the solvent was removed in vacuo at 50° C. The resulting residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (1 mL) and treated with 2M HCl in Et2O (3 mL) and allowed to stir overnight at room temperature. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude solid was purified by HiTOPs.
