Participants

Reaction Steps

(+,−) Trans propane-2-sulfonic acid {2-[4′-(2-amino-ethyl)-biphenyl-4-yl]-cyclopentyl}-amide (prepared in example 9) was dissolved in 20 mL of dry methylene chloride and triethylamine added (0.275 mL, 1.98 mmol). To this stirred mixture was added acetyl chloride (0.084 mL, 1.19 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 3 days. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo and chromatographed on a Chromatotron® eluting with 98:2 methylene chloride:methanol which afforded 150 mg (64% 2 steps) of the title compound. The NMR was consistent with the assigned structure.
