Participants

Reaction Steps

100 mg (0.311 mmol) of TBTU and 0.1 ml (0.715 mmol) of triethylamine are added to 55 mg (0.311 mmol) of 3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)propionic acid hydrochloride in 1 ml of DMF. After 10 minutes, 99 mg (0.256 mmol) of (R)-2-amino-1-(3-cyclohexyl-3-pentylazetidin-1-yl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propan-1-one dissolved in 1 ml of DMF are added. After stirring for 118 hours at ambient temperature, the reaction medium is extracted with a 1/2 heptane/EtOAc mixture and washed with 1N sodium hydroxide and a saturated sodium chloride solution. The organic phase is dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue is purified on a silica column (eluent 9/1 DCM/MeOH). 72 mg of N—[(R)-2-(3-cyclohexyl-3-pentylazetidin-1-yl)-1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2-oxoethyl]-3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)propionamide are obtained in the form of a white powder, with a yield of 55%.
