Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2-methyl-3-(4-(1-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)phenyl)-propanoic acid (0.84 g, 2.2 mmol) in toluene (21.6 mL) was added triethylamine (0.33 mL, 2.4 mmol) and diphenyl phosphorazidate (0.47 mL, 2.2 mmol) and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate and water and the layers separated. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The crude material was loaded onto a Celite® cartridge and purified by flash column chromatography using 0-100% ethyl acetate/B, where B=1:1 dichloromethane/hexanes, as eluent to afford the title compound as a white solid (0.53 g, 58%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.56 (s, 1H), 8.21-8.11 (m, 2H), 7.88-7.77 (m, 2H), 7.39 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H), 7.32 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 3.94-3.80 (m, 1H), 2.87 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 2H), 1.35 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 3H); 19F NMR (376 MHz, CDCl3) δ −58.03; ESIMS m/z 389 ([M+H]+).
