Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of [2-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl isocyanide (0.088 g, 0.4 mmol) and succinic semialdehyde (15% in water, 0.26 ml, 0.4 mmol) in methanol (1.75 ml) was added cyclopropylamine (0.042 ml, 0.6 mmol). The mixture was heated to 100° C. for 30 minutes in a microwave reactor. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by mass-directed automated HPLC to give N-{[2-Chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl}-1-cyclopropyl-5-oxoprolinamide (0.076 g) as a white solid. LC/MS [M+H]+=361/363, retention time=2.39 minutes.
