Sodium hydride → (2S,3S,5R)-2-Benzyl-3-[(5-bromo-pyrimidin-2-yl)-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-amino]-5-ethyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid isopropyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of (2S,3S,5R)-2-benzyl-3-(5-bromo-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-5-ethyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid isopropyl ester (0.064 mmol; 28.6 mg) and sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 0.19 mmol; 7.6 mg) in DMF (0.6 mL) is added 3-chloro-5-trifluoromethylbenzyl bromide (0.13 mmol; 35.6 mg) at room temperature under N2. After 3.5 hours, additional sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 0.19 mmol; 7.6 mg) is added to the suspension. The reaction mixture is stirred for 20 minutes, and quenched with water and saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The product is extracted three times with EtOAc. The combined organic layer is washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: n-hexane/EtOAc) to give (2S,3S,5R)-2-Benzyl-3-[(5-bromo-pyrimidin-2-yl)-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-amino]-5-ethyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid isopropyl ester (30.0 mg, 73%); ESI-MS m/z: 639 [M+1]+, Retention time 2.68 min (condition A).
