Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-cyclopentyl-2-(4-methanesulfonyl-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-propionic acid methyl ester (395 mg, 1.04 mmol) and 2-aminothiazole (209 mg, 1.38 mmol) in a solution of magnesium methoxide in methanol (7.4 wt %, 2.09 mL, 1.38 mmol) was heated at 110° C. for 24 h. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh, 50/50 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded the 3-cyclopentyl-2-(4-methanesulfonyl-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-N-thiazol-2-yl-propionamide (256.7 mg, 55.1%) as a white solid: mp 95-100° C.; EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C19H21F3N2O3S2 (M+)446.0946, found 446.0944.
