Diisopropylethylamine → HCID 19705462, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A cold (0° C.) solution of tert-butyl α-(2-aminoethyl)-2-oxo-1-(2-phenylethyl)-3-(propen-2-yl)-3-pyrrolidineacetate (1.93 g, 4.99 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (20 mL) is treated with diisopropylethylamine (1.04 mL, 5.99 mmol) and 3,4-difluorobenzoyl chloride (691 μL, 5.49 mmol). The solution is allowed to warm to room temperature, stirring under N2 overnight. The solution is diluted with EtOAc (100 mL) and washed with 1N HCl (25 mL), 1N NaOH (25 mL), and brine (25 mL). The organic layer is dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 3.60 g of a brown oil. The oil is purified by silica gel chromatography (50 g SG; 25% EtOAc/hexane) to provide 2.10 g (80%) of the title compound as a yellow, amorphous solid:
