Reaction Steps

To a solution of oxalyl chloride (39 μL, 0.45 mmol) in DCM (7 mL) at −78° C., was added a solution of DMSO (64 μL, 0.90 mmol) in DCM (4 mL). After stirring at −78° C. for 15 min, a solution of N-(((2S,4R)-1-(biphenylcarbonyl)-4-hydroxypyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl)quinoline-8-carboxamide (0.135 g, 0.30 mmol) in DCM (4 mL) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 h, treated with Et3N (0.25 mL, 1.8 mmol) dropwise and then allowed to warm to rt gradually over 1.5 h. The mixture was then concentrated in vacuo to a beige solid and purified by column chromatography on silica gel (70% MeOH in EtOAc) to provide (S)—N-((1-(biphenylcarbonyl)-4-oxopyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl)quinoline-8-carboxamide as a white solid (0.071 g, 53% yield). MS (ESI) 450.12 (M+H).
