Propionyl chloride → N-{5-[5-(3,5-dichloro-phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-isoxazol-3-yl]-2-methyl-thiophen-3-ylmethyl}-propionamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Propionyl chloride (0.17 ml) is added to a solution of C-{5-[5-(3,5-dichloro-phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-isoxazol-3-yl]-2-methyl-thiophen-3-yl}-methylamine (816 mg) and DIPEA (1 ml) in dichloromethane (10 ml) at room temperature. After 3 hours at RT, the reaction is quenched with water. The aqueous phase is separated and further extracted two times with dichloromethane. The organic phases are combined, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product is purified on a semi-preparative HPLC and by crystallization in a diethylether/petroleum ether mixture to yield N-{5-[5-(3,5-dichloro-phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-isoxazol-3-yl]-2-methyl-thiophen-3-ylmethyl}-propionamide (compound 1.6, 122 mg) as white crystals. MS (HPLC/MS): 465 (MH+). Retention time: 1.96 min.
