Participants

Reaction Steps

81 mg (0.3 mmol) of TBTU and 0.1 ml (0.6 mmol) of triethylamine are added to a solution of 42 mg (0.25 mmol) of desamino-histidine hydrochloride in 1 ml of dimethylformamide. After stirring for 10 minutes, 119 mg (0.2 mmol) of (R)-2-amino-1-[3-butoxy-3-(2-fluorophenyl)azetidin-1-yl]-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propan-1-one trifluoroacetate are added and the reaction medium is stirred for 64 h at ambient temperature. After extraction with a 1/2 heptane/ethyl acetate mixture, the organic phase is washed with 1N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated. The crude product is purified by silica gel chromatography, elution being carried out with a 90/10 dichloromethane/methanol mixture. 59 mg of N—[(R)-2-[3-butoxy-3-(2-fluoro-phenyl)azetidin-1-yl]-1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2-oxoethyl]-3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)propionamide are obtained in the form of a white solid with a yield of 57%.
