Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Ammonium acetate (1.47 g, 19 mmol) was added to an ambient temperature solution of tert-butyl 2-{[(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxohexyl)amino]carbonyl}-2-[4-(5-fluoropyridin-2-yl)benzyl]pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (200 mg, 0.38 mmol) in xylenes (10 mL). After stirring at 160° C. in a sealed tube overnight, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Chromatography over silica eluting with 0-100% ethyl acetate/hexane followed by high pressure liquid chromatography (KR100-5C18 100×21.2 mm column) eluting with 10-100% acetonitrile/water containing 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid afforded tert-butyl 2-[4-(2,2-dimethylbutyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-2-[4-(5-fluoropyridin-2-yl)benzyl]pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate.
