Triphenylphosphine → (S)-1-[3-(2-{[4-chloro-3-(4-cyano-6-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-benzoyl]-methyl-amino}-phenoxy)-propyl]-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4-chloro-3-(4-cyano-6-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-N-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-N-methyl-benzamide (30 mg, 0.069 mmol) dissolved in THF (700 μL), (S)-1-(3-hydroxy-propyl)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (18 mg, 0.078 mmol), triphenylphosphine (26 mg, 0.1 mmol) and DIAD (20 μL, 0.1 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred at rt overnight, concentrated, diluted with 1 mL MeOH and purified by prep HPLC. The resulting (S)-1-[3-(2-{[4-chloro-3-(4-cyano-6-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-benzoyl]-methyl-amino}-phenoxy)-propyl]-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester was treated with 50% TFA in DCM (2 mL), stirred at rt for 4 hrs and concentrated yielding (5)-1-[3-(2-{[4-chloro-3-(4-cyano-6-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-benzoyl]-methyl-amino}-phenoxy)-propyl]-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid 50-1. MS: 587.4 (M+H)+, tR=4.34 min (method 3).
