Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2(R)-(3-chloro-4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-N-[5-(cyano-hydroxy-methyl)-pyrazin-2-yl]-3-cyclopentyl-propionamide (prepared as in Example 26, 100 mg, 0.22 mmol) and potassium carbonate (400 mg, 2.9 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (6 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and then was treated dropwise with a 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution (2 mL). The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h. The resulting mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate (50 mL) and water (50 mL). The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×25 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (3×30 mL) and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (1×30 mL), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230–400 mesh, ethyl acetate) afforded N-[5-(carbamoyl-hydroxy-methyl)-pyrazin-2-yl]-2(R)-(3-chloro-4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-3-cyclopentyl-propionamide (30 mg, 28%) as a white solid: (ES)+-HRMS m/e calcd for C21H25ClN4O5S (M+H)+ 481.1314, found 481.1307.
