Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-4-6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine (2.68 g, 15.2 mmol) and N-methylmorpholine (4.2 mL, 38.1 mmol) were added to a solution of 3-(2-Oxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-propionic acid (2 g, 12.7 mmol, from Step 1) in THF (35 mL). After 1 h the reaction mixture was filtered through a glass frit to remove a white precipitate. The filtrate was treated with copper iodide (2.4 g, 12.7 mmol), cooled to 0° C. and then cyclopentyl magnesium bromide (6.35 mL, 12.7 mmol, 2M in ether) was added. After 4 h the resulting black mixture was quenched with saturated NH4Cl and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layers were washed with 1 N HCl, saturated NaHCO3, brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purifed by silica gel chromatography (75% EtOAc in hexanes then 5% MeOH in CH2Cl2) to give the title compound as a yellow oil. (0.4 g, 15% yield).
