Hydrochloric Acid → (2S)-1-(2-(3-aminopropyl)-5-(3-fluorophenyl)-2-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-3 (2H)-yl)-2-hydroxy-3-methylbutan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

(S)-2-hydroxy-3-methylbutyric acid (13.5 mg, 0.11 mmol) and PyBOP (60 mg, 0.12 mmol) were combined in THF (0.4 mL) and stirred for 10 minutes. To this mixture was added {3-[5-(3-fluorophenyl)-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-[1,3,4]thiadiazol-2-yl]-propyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (20 mg, 0.05 mmol) and DIEA (31 mg, 0.24 mmol). After stirring at room temperature for 24 hours, the reaction mixture was diluted with 10% Na2CO3 (20 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL). The combined organics were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed (1:4 ethyl acetate/hexanes) to provide Boc-protected diastereomer A (less polar, 2.0 mg) and Boc-protected diastereomer B (more polar, 4.2 mg). To the Boc-protected diastereomer A was added HCl (1 mL, 4M in dioxane) at 0° C. After warming to room temperature and stirring for 1 hour, the mixture was concentrated under a stream of N2. The residue was dissolved in an ether/dioxane mixture and precipitated with hexanes. The solid was filtered and washed with hexanes to provide the final product as yellow solid.
