1,2-Dichloroethane → Pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid {1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-2-[2-methoxy-methyl-4-(1-methylcarbamoyl-2-naphthalen-2-yl-ethyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxo-ethyl}-amide

Reaction Steps

Crude 2-{1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-2-[2-methoxymethyl-4-(1-methylcarbamoyl-2-naphthalen-2-yl-ethyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxo-ethylcarbamoyl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester, 67, is dissolved in 4M hydrogen chloride in dioxane (10 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. 1,2-dichloroethane (10 mL) is added. Removal of solvents in vacuo gives the crude hydrogen chloride salt of product which is then purified by preparative HPLC to afford 0.22 g (54% yield) of the desired product as the trifluoroacetate salt. A small amount of product is converted into free base by treating with NaHCO3 to obtain NMR spectra. 1H NMR (CDCl3, δ): 7.80–7.60 (m, 4H), 7.45–7.25 (m, 3H), 7.18–7.00 (m, 2H), 7.00–6.85 (m, 2H), 6.32–6.28 (m, 0.5H), 5.08–4.92 (m, 1H), 4.78–4.69 (,0.5H), 4.10 (d, J=13.0 Hz, 0.5H), 3.70–3.58 (m, 1H), 3.58–3.15 (m, 8H), 2.98–2.46 (m, 11H), 2.28–2.15 (m, 0.5H), 2.15–1.50 (m, 8H). HRFAB(positive) m/e 604.2399 calculated for C34H42FN5O4 (M+H)+, Found 604.3292.
