4-Methylmorpholine → methyl (3S,4R)-4-{[(4-chloro-5-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)carbonyl]amino}-3-methylpiperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chloro-5-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (Intermediate 27, 2.5 g, 15.82 mmol) and methyl (3S,4R)-4-amino-3-methylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (Intermediate 37, 2.72 g, 15.82 mmol) in dichloromethane (200 mL) were added HOBt (2.42 g, 15.82 mmol) and N-methyl morpholine (5.2 mL, 47.46 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at room temperature and EDC HCl (5.43 g, 28.47 mmol) was added. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was quenched with the addition of 2N HCl (120 mL). The organic layer was washed with sodium bicarbonate (150 mL), water (150 mL), and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, filtered, concentrated under vacuum. Purification by column chromatography (silica, 35% ethylacetate in petroleum ether) afforded methyl (3S,4R)-4-{[(4-chloro-5-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)carbonyl]amino}-3-methylpiperidine-1-carboxylate 2.2 g (46%) as brown solid.
