Participants

Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (˜0.38 M in benzene, 0.617 mL, 0.234 mmol) was added to a room temperature solution of (4R,5S)-4-(3-chlorophenyl)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(isopropylamino)hexanoic acid (Example 418, Step G, 84 mg, 0.213 mmol) in benzene (3 mL) followed by a drop of DMF. The reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for 25 minutes then heated to 80° C. After 3.5 hours the reaction was removed from heat and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution was added. The organic phase was diluted with ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was extracted again with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, then dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated to afford a red-orange oil. The product was isolated by chromatography on silica (12 g RediSep Rf cartridge) eluting with 20-40% ethyl acetate gradient in hexane to afford the title compound as a pale yellow film.
