Cesium carbonate → 4-({2-[4-(5-Chloro-2-cyanophenyl)-5-methoxy-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl]-4,4-difluorobutanoyl}amino)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

80 mg (151 μmol) of ethyl 4-({2-[4-(5-chloro-2-cyanophenyl)-5-methoxy-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl]-4,4-difluorobutanoyl}amino)benzoate (racemate) in 2 ml of methanol/water (4/1) were reacted with 326 mg (302 μmol) of caesium carbonate according to General Method 4. The crude product was purified by preparative HPLC [column: Chromatorex C18, 10 μm, 125 mm×30 mm, mobile phase: acetonitrile/0.05% formic acid gradient (0 to 3 min 10% acetonitrile, to 35 min 90% acetonitrile and a further 3 min 90% acetonitrile)]. Yield: 18 mg (23% of theory)
