Reaction Steps
To an orange solution of Intermediate 22d (58 mg, 0.0917 mmol) and DIPEA (0.0319 mL, 0.183 mmol) in DCM-MeOH (4:1, 2.5 mL), was added 2,2-difluoroethyl trifluoromethane-sulfonate (Fluorochem, 29.4 mg, 0.138 mmol) and the solution stirred at RT for 2 h. DIPEA (0.0319 mL, 0.183 mmol) and 2,2-difluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (29.4 mg, 0.138 mmol) were added sequentially, and the pale green solution stirred at RT for 1 h. Water (2 mL) was added and the mixture extracted with DCM (2×3 mL). The combined organics were passed through a hydrophobic frit and concentrated in vacuo to leave a pale green-brown solid. HPLC (XBridge C18, 50-98% MeCN in H2O, 0.1% NH4OH) gave the title compound as a white solid after freeze-drying (11.5 mg, 18%).
