[(1S)-1-isocyanatopropyl]benzene

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a solution of (S)-1-phenylpropan-1-amine (3.00 g, 14 mmol) in the mixture of methylene chloride (50 mL) and saturated NaHCO3 (50 mL) was added triphosgene (1.40 g, 4.60 mmol) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. The organic phase was separated, dried and concentrated to give (S)-(1-isocyanatopropyl)benzene (3.0 g, 88%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ=0.93 (q, 3H), 1.81 (m, 2H), 4.50 (m, 1H), 7.13 (m, 2H), 7.22 (m, 1H), 7.50 (m, 2H). The organic phase was separated dried concentrated

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

The mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. The organic phase was separated, dried and concentrated to give (5)-(1-isocyanatopropyl)benzene (3.0 g, 88%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ=0.93 (q, 3H), 1.81 (m, 2H), 4.50 (m, 1H), 7.13 (m, 2H), 7.22 (m, 1H), 7.50 (m, 2H).

Procedure: To a solution of (3S,4R)-3-hydroxymethyl-4-({isopropyl-[4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxy-propoxy)-benzoyl]-amino}-methyl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (200 mg, 0.404 mmol) in ether (12 mL) are successively added (S)-1-phenylpropyl isocyanate (130.4 mg, 0.809 mmol) and AlCl3 (54 mg, 0.404 mmol). The mixture is stirred at RT under nitrogen overnight. (S)-1-phenylpropyl isocyanate (150 μL) and AlCl3 (54 mg, 0.404 mmol) are again added and the mixture further stirred for 5 h. AcOEt is added and the reaction mixture quenched by the addition of an aqueous saturated solution of NaHCO3. The layers are separated and the aqueous one back extracted twice with AcOEt. The combined organic extracts are dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude mixture is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent: CH2Cl2/MeOH 100:0 to 95:5) to give the title product TLC, Rf (CH2Cl2/MeOH 95:5)=0.35. MS (LC-MS): 656.2 [M+H]+; tR (HPLC, Nucleosil C18-HD column, 20-100% CH3CN/H2O/6 min, 100% CH3CN/1.5 min, flow: 1 ml/min): 3.94 min. the mixture further stirred for 5 h the reaction mixture quenched by the addition of an aqueous saturated solution of NaHCO3 The layers are separated the aqueous one back extracted twice with AcOEt The combined organic extracts are dried over Na2SO4 filtered concentrated under reduced pressure The crude mixture is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent: CH2Cl2/MeOH 100:0 to 95:5)
