Reaction Steps

A suspension of {(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzoyl)-[4-(2-chloro-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-amino}-acetic acid (0.15 g, 298 μmol, example 102, intermediate) and EDC (172 mg, 895 μmol) in DMF (2 mL) was treated with 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (122 mg, 895 μmol, CAS RN 39968-33-7) and stirred at room temperature for 20 min. to give a yellow solution. Ammonium chloride (160 mg, 2.98 mmol) and DIPEA (386 mg, 521 μL, 2.98 mmol) were added and the reaction was stirred for another 3.75 h. The reaction mixture was poured on saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution and EtOAc and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted twice with EtOAc. The organic layers were washed twice with water and once with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, treated with silica gel and evaporated. The compound was purified by silica gel chromatography on a 10 g column using a MPLC system eluting with a gradient of n-heptane:EtOAc (100:0 to 0:100). Light yellow solid (0.099 g; 66%). MS (ESI): m/z=502.07 [M+H]+.
