Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-cyclopentyl-2-(4-methanesulfonyl-3-nitrophenyl)-propionic acid (prepared as in Example 14, 250 mg, 0.732 mmol), triethylamine (0.306 mL, 2.19 mmol), benzotriazol-1-yloxy-tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (487 mg, 1.10 mmol), and 4-amino-2-methylpyrimidine (120 mg, 1.10 mmol) in methylene chloride (5 mL) was stirred at 25° C. for 24 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with water (25 mL), a 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (5 mL), and ethyl acetate (25 mL). The layers were separated, and the organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Biotage chromatography (FLASH 40S, Silica, 1/3 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded impure 3-cyclopentyl-2-(4-methanesulfonyl-3-nitro-phenyl)-N-(2-methyl-pyrimidin-4-yl)-propionamide. Re-purification by flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh, 1/1 then 1/3 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded 3-cyclopentyl-2-(4-methanesulfonyl-3-nitro-phenyl)-N-(2-methyl-pyrimidin-4-yl)-propionamide (59 mg, 18%) as a white foam: mp 96-99° C. (foam to gel); EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C20H24N4O5S (M+) 432.1467, found 432.1470.
