Reaction Steps

(R)-3-((R)-3-Oxo-cyclopentyl)-2-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-propionic acid (prepared in Example 118, 90 mg, 0.30 mmol) was dissolved in methylene chloride (3 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (three drops) at 25° C. under argon. To this solution was added dropwise a solution of oxalyl chloride in methylene chloride (2 M solution, 160 μL, 0.32 mmol) which produced gas evolution and it was then stirred at 25° C. for 30 minutes after which time it was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was then dissolved in methylene chloride (3 mL) and added dropwise into a solution of 3-(3-amino-pyrazol-1-yl)-propan-1-ol (prepared in Example 23, 43 mg, 0.30 mmol), 2,6-lutidine (70 μL, 0.60 mmol) and methylene chloride (3 mL) at 0° C. It was then allowed to warm to 25° C. and stirred for 1 h. After this time, the reaction was quenched with a small amount of methanol and diluted with methylene chloride and then concentrated with silica gel (2 g) in vacuo and purified on Biotage Flash chromatography system (40S column, silica gel, 50% ethyl acetate/hexanes to 5% methanol/ethyl acetate) to afford (R)—N-[1-(3-hydroxy-propyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]-3-((R)-3-oxo-cyclopentyl)-2-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-propionamide (63 mg, 50%) as an off white foam: [α]29589=−60.6° (c=0.16, methanol); ES-HRMS m/e calcd for C21H24N3O3F3 (M+H)+ 424.1843, observed 424.1842; 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.51 (m, 1H, CH), 1.74-2.29 (m, 10H, 5×CH2), 3.33 (m, 2H, OCH2), 3.94 (m, 1H, ArCHCO), 4.02 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 2H, NCH2), 4.55 (t, J=5.4 Hz, 1H, OH), 6.41 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H, Ar), 7.55 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H, Ar), 7.60 (m, 2H, Ar), 7.69 (brd, 1H, Ar), 7.73 (brs, 1H, Ar), 10.78 (s, 1H, NH).
