Reaction Steps

To stirring acetamide (292 mg, 4.95 mmol) at 100° C. was added boron trifluoride etherate (16.0 μl, 0.130 mmol). The temperature was raised to 140° C. and a solution of 2-(4′-methyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-2-oxoethyl 4-((N-(2-(tert-butoxy)-2-oxoethyl)-4-(2-(4-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetamido)benzamido)methyl)benzoate INT-38 (100 mg, 0.124 mmol) in DCM (1 mL) was added drop wise under a stream of N2. After 1 h, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and acetonitrile (2 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h and the precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with acetonitrile (0.5 mL) and isohexanes (2 mL). The isolated precipitate was further re-slurried from DCM (2 mL) to afford 39 mg (43%) of 2-(4-(2-(4-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetamido)-N-(4-(4-(4′-methyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)oxazol-2-yl)benzyl)benzamido)acetic acid 360 as a white solid.
