Participants

Reaction Steps

To the crude acid (R)-2-(Isoindolin-2-yl)-3-methoxypropanoic acid (FIG. 2, No. 5)(1.25 g, 5 mmol) in dry THF was added N-methylmorpholine (0.66 mL, 6.0 mmol) at −78° C. under an argon atmosphere. After 5 min, isobutyl chloroformate (0.78 mL, 6.0 mmol) was added and stirred for another 5 min. To this reaction mixture benzylamine (0.65 mL, 6.0 mmol) was added at −78° C. after which the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered through a celite pad, washed with ethyl acetate, and dried over anhydrous MgSO4. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the crude product was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (Ethyl acetate/Hexane, 4:6) to yield 1.48 g, 88% yield of (R)—N—Benzyl-2-(isoindolin-2-yl)-3-methoxypropanamide (FIG. 2, No. 6) as a crystalline solid.
