Methyl 4-aminobenzoate → rac-4-{2-[(2S,3R,4S)-4-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-cyano-2-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-acetylamino}-benzoic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of rac-[(2S,3R,4S)-4-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-cyano-2-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-acetic acid (0.5 g, 1.04 mmol), methyl 4-aminobenzoate (Aldrich) (0.3 g, 1.99 mmol), HATU (0.4 g, 1.05 mmol) and iPr2NEt (0.3 g, 2.33 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (30 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 20 h. The mixture was then diluted with CH2Cl2 and washed with water, brine. The organic phase was separated, filtered and dried over Na2SO4. The mixture was then concentrated and purified by chromatography (EtOAc:hexanes=1:5) to give rac-4-{2-[(2S,3R,4S)-4-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-cyano-2-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-acetylamino}-benzoic acid methyl ester as a white solid (0.5 g, 81%).
