Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-aminopyridine (95 mg, 1.01 mmol) in acetonitrile (2 mL) was treated with 3-cyclopentyl-2-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)propionic acid (prepared in Example 3(A), 250 mg, 0.84 mmol), triphenylphosphine (243 mg, 0.93 mmol), triethylamine (350 μL, 2.53 mmol), and carbon tetrachloride (1 mL). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 15 h. The cloudy reaction mixture was diluted with water and then extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh, 1/3 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded impure 3-cyclopentyl-2-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-N-pyridin-2-yl-propionamide. Recrystallization from hexanes/methylene chloride provided pure 3-cyclopentyl-2-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-N-pyridin-2-yl-propionamide (170 mg, 54%) as a white solid: mp 172-173° C.; EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C20H24N2O3S (M+) 372.1508, found 372.1498.
