Diisopropylethylamine → 4-(1-(4-Cyclobutyl-2-methyl-5-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)benzoyl)piperidin-4-yl)benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 4-mL vial was added 4-cyclobutyl-2-methyl-5-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)benzoic acid (compound 202.3, 31 mg, 0.12 mmol, 1.0 equiv), 4-(piperidin-4-yl)benzonitrile hydrochloride (compound 1.5, 27 mg, 0.12 mmol, 1.0 equiv), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (20 wt % water) (25 mg, 0.15 mmol, 1.25 equiv), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (25 mg, 0.13 mmol, 1.1 equiv), DMF (0.6 mL) and DIEA (83 μL, 0.48 mmol, 4 equiv). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours then diluted with ethyl acetate (10 mL) and washed with 1 M NaH2PO4 (5 mL). The aqueous was back extracted with ethyl acetate (3 mL) and the combined organics was washed with brine (5 mL), saturated NaHCO3 (5 mL) and brine (5 mL). The organics were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and removed in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by preparative TLC (DCM/8% MeOH) to obtain the title compound as a white solid (23 mg, 46%). m/z (ES+) 426 (M+H)+.
