Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3S,3aR)-2-(3-chloro-4-cyanophenyl)-3-cyclopentyl-3,3a,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-benzo[g]indazole-7-carboxylic acid, Example 15 (90 mg, 0.20 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1 mL) was added 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (43 mg, 0.32 mmol), triethylamine (0.06 mL, 0.40 mmol) and O-benzotriazol-1-yl-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (103 mg, 0.32 mmol). The solution was stirred for fifteen minutes followed by addition of 2-(methylsulfonyl)ethanamine (40 mg, 0.32 mmol). The solution was stirred for twenty hours at ambient temperature. The reaction was quenched with water and the resulting yellow solid was collected by vacuum filtration. Chromatography (reverse phase, acetonitrile/water) provided (3S,3aR)-2-(3-chloro-4-cyanophenyl)-3-cyclopentyl-N-(2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl)-3,3a,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-benzo[g]indazole-7-carboxamide (yellow solid, 55 mg, 52% yield). LC/MS on 4.6×50 mm C-18 column, tR=6.01 minutes (10 to 90% acetonitrile/water over 6 minutes at 2 mL/minute with detection 254 nm, at 50° C.); ES-MS m/z 525 (M+H)
