Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → (R)-quinuclidin-3-yl 2-(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-2-(3-fluorophenylamino)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-2-(3-fluorophenylamino)acetic acid (I40) (677 mg, 2.25 mmol), (R)-quinuclidin-3-ol (343 mg, 2.70 mmol), HOBT (413 mg, 2.70 mmol), and DCC (556 mg, 2.70 mmol) in THF (20 ml) was stirred at room temperature overnight. THF was evaporated, and the crude product was partitioned between EtOAc and 1M K2CO3. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (DCM/MeOH=98/2 to 95/5) to obtain (R)-quinuclidin-3-yl 2-(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-2-(3-fluorophenylamino)acetate (421 mg, 45.6% yield over two steps).
