Cyclopropylamine → 4-[3-(tert-Butoxycarbonylamino)pyrrolidin-1-yl]-2-cyclopropylamino-3-fluorobenzoic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-[3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)pyrrolidin-1-yl]-2,3-difluorobenzoic acid ethyl ester (Example 2h, 1.85 g, 5.01 mmol) and cyclopropylamine (14.0 mL, 201 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (5 mL) is heated in a sealed glass tube for 48 hours at 100° C. The solution is then concentrated under high vacuum and purified by column chromatography (1:9 ethyl acetate/hexanes) to afford the title compound (1.57 g). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 7.59 (bs, 1H), 7.57 (dd, 1H), 6.00 (dd, 1H), 4.82-4.68 (bd, 1H), 4.39-4.18 (m, 3H), 3.80-3.49 (m, 311), 3.41-3.30 (m, 1H), 3.00-2.88 (m, 1H), 2.31-2.11 (m, 1H), 2.00-1.85 (m, 1H), 1.45 (s, 9H), 1.37 (t, 3H), 0.73-0.50 (m, 4H).
