4-Isocyanatopyridine → rac-(2S,3S,4S)-2-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-cyano-4-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid pyridin-4-ylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of rac-(2S,3S,4S)-2-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidine-3-carbonitrile (39.4 mg, 0.093 mmol) and 4-isocyanatopyridine (Princeton, 27.8 mg, 0.231 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) was stirred at rt for 7.5 hrs then more 4-isocyanatopyridine (Princeton, 23.6 mg, 0.196 mmol) was added. After and additions 16 hrs, the reaction mixture was then concentrated and purified by flash column to give rac-(2S,3S,4S)-2-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-cyano-4-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid pyridin-4-ylamide (45.3 mg, 89.5%). HRMS (ES+) m/z Calcd for C28H26Cl2F2N4O+H [(M+H)+]: 543.1525; Found: 543.1525.
