Reaction Steps

2.10 g (purity 74%, 4.72 mmol) of 2-[4-(5-chloro-2-cyanophenyl)-5-methoxy-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl]-3-(cis-4-methoxycyclohexyl)propanoic acid (racemate), 780 mg (4.72 mmol) of ethyl 4-aminobenzoate, 671 mg (4.72 mmol) of Oxima and 735 μl (4.72 mmol) of DIC in 47 ml of dimethylformamide were reacted according to General Method 5B. After complete conversion, the reaction solution was diluted with 263 ml of 10% strength lithium chloride solution and 210 ml of ethyl acetate and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted twice with 210 ml of ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried over magnesium sulphate and filtered, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate/cyclohexane gradient, 100 g silica cartridge, flow rate 50 ml/min), giving the title compound. Yield: 2.1 g (75% of theory)
