Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2,3,4-trifluorobenzonitrile (265 mg, 1.68 mmol) in a flask, a solution of D-leucine amide hydrochloride (282 mg, 1.68 mmol) and DIEA (0.880 mL, 5.06 mmol) in DMSO (5 mL) was added. After being stirred at room temperature for 68 h, water and EtOAc were added. The organic phase was separated, washed with water, dried over Na2SO4, concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by a silica gel column, eluted with 0-70% EtOAc in hexane to give (R)-2-(4-cyano-2,3-difluorophenylamino)-4-methylpentanamide (113 mg).
