Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (R)-2-[2-(6-bromo-3-fluoro-pyridin-2-yl)-2-(2-nitro-benzenesulfonylamino)-propoxy]3,3,3-trifluoro-2-methyl-propionic acid ethyl ester (720 mg, 1.195 mmol) in NH3 7N in methanol (19 ml, 133 mmol) was stirred at 50° C. for 2 days in a sealed 25 ml microwave vial. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue (987 mg) was chromatographed over silica gel (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate) affording the title compound as a mixture of two diastereoisomers (500 mg, 73% yield). TLC (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 1:1) Rf=0.30; LC-MS RtH5=1.05 min (ES+573, 575).
