Reaction Steps
{1-(S)-[1-(S)-(5-Fluoro-2,3-dihydro-indol-1-ylmethyl)-3-methanesulfonyl-propylcarbamoyl]-3,3-dimethyl-butyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester. The intermediate from Step A (500 mg, 1.29 mmol) was treated with 2 mL of a solution containing 45% trifluoroacetic acid, 45% dichloromethane and 10% water. The material was allowed to stand overnight and the solvent was removed. The resulting oil was treated with Boc-(L)-tBu-Ala (350 mg, 1.42 mmol), HATU (540 mg, 1.42 mmol) and dichloromethane (5 mL). The resulting suspension was treated with diisopropylethylamine (836 mg, 6.47 mmol) and allowed to stir overnight. The reaction contents were then poured into a separatory funnel and treated with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane a total of 2 times and discarded. The comined organics were dried over MgSO4 and the solvent was removed. The residue was purified by automated silica gel chromatography using a linear gradient of 0 to 100% ethyl acetate in hexane to afford the title compound as a solid (506 mg, 76%): 1H NMR (CDCl1, 400 MHz) δ 0.74 (s, 9H), 1.41 (dd, 1H, J1=8.3, J2=14.5), 1.70 (dd, 1H, J1=4.4, J2=14.5), 2.57-2.72 (m, 2H), 2.85 (dd, 1H, J1=6.8, J2=13.6), 3.02 (dd, 1H, J1=7.7, J2=13.6), 3.07 (dd, 1H, J1=8.7, J2=17.4), 3.17-3.26 (m, 1H), 3.48 (dd, 1H, J1=4.5, J2=11.4), 3.55 (dd, 1H, J1=3.4, J2=11.4), 3.60 (s, 3H), 3.88-3.98 (m, 1H), 4.43 (ddd, 1H, J1=4.3, J2=8.1, J3=12.3), 6.16 (dd, 1H, J1=4.1, J2=8.5), 6.41 (d, 1H, J=7.7), 6.48 (ddd, 1H, J1=2.6, J2=J3=9.0), 6.52-6.56 (m, 1H), 6.75-6.79 (m, 1H), 6.78-6.84 (m, 1H), 6.98-7.10 (m, 3H); HPLC-MS calcd. for C25H40FN3O5S (M+H+) 514.3, found 514.5.
