Reaction Steps

A solution of the mixture of 4-(1-carboxy-2-cyclopentyl-ethyl)-benzoic acid methyl ester and 4-(1-carboxy-2-cyclopentyl-ethyl)-benzoic acid methyl ester (24.2 mg, 0.08 mmol) in methylene chloride (0.87 mL) cooled to 0° C. was treated with a 2.0M solution of oxalyl chloride in methylene chloride (0.05 mL, 0.10 mmol) and a few drops of N,N-dimethylformamide. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 10 min and at 25° C. for 30 min. The reaction mixture was then treated with a solution of 2-aminothiazole (19.3 mg, 0.19 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.04 mL, 0.21 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (0.44 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 4 h. At this time, the reaction was concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh, 50/50 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded 4-[2-cyclopentyl-1-(thiazol-2-ylcarbamoyl)-ethyl]-benzoic acid methyl ester (18.1 mg, 57.6%) as an off-white solid: mp 54-56° C.; EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C19H22N2O3S (M+) 358.1351, found 358.1346.
