Reaction Steps

A solution of benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (0.62 g, 1.41 mmol) and 2-(3-chloro-4-methylsulfanyl-phenyl)-3-cyclopentyl-propionic acid (0.29 g, 0.95 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 mL) was treated with N,N-diisopropylethylamine (500 μL, 2.87 mmol) and 2-aminothiazole (140 mg, 1.27 mmol). The mixture was stirred under nitrogen at 25° C. for 14 h. The reaction mixture was then washed with a 6N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (1×15 mL) and washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (1×25 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh, 4/1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded 2-(3-chloro-4-methylsulfanyl-phenyl)-3-cyclopentyl-N-thiazol-2-yl-propionamide (0.26 g, 71%) as a white solid: EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C18H21ClN2OS2 (M+) 380.0783, found 380.0792.
