Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The amine 165RL21 (40 mg, 0.144 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) and cooled to 0° C. Trichloroacetyl isocyanate (0.019 mL) was added and the solution was left to warm to rt and stirring was continued for 30 minutes. The mixture was concentrated and the residue was dissolved in methanol (1 mL). 2 M NaOH (1 mL) was added, and the mixture was heated to 70° C. for 1 hour. Then, water (20 mL) was added and methanol was removed by evaporation in vacuo. The aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane (2×20 mL), and the combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by preparative TLC (0-5% methanol in dichloromethane) to give the title compound (24 mg, 52% yield) as a white solid.
