Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to the method described in Example 3, chloromethyl chloroformate (Aldrich) was reacted with 2,5,8,11,14,17-hexaoxanonadecan-19-ol (TCI) and pyridine in methylene chloride at −78° C. for 3 h to give chloromethyl 2,5,8,11,14,17-hexaoxanonadecan-19-yl carbonate. This material was then reacted with chiral 4-((2R,3S,4R,5S)-3-(3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-4-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-4-cyano-5-neopentylpyrrolidine-2-carboxamido)-3-methoxybenzoic acid in the presence of cesium carbonate in dimethylformamide overnight to give, after flash chromatography purification (hexane/ethyl acetate, 80/20 to 20/80), chiral-3-oxo-2,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatetradecyl 4-((2R,3S,4R,5S)-3-(3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-4-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-4-cyano-5-neopentylpyrrolidine-2-carboxamido)-3-methoxybenzoate as a white solid. MS (ES+) m/z calcd. for C46H58Cl2F2N3O13: [(M+H)+]: 968, found: 968.
