ChloroMethyl Propyl Carbonate

Conditions: temp:100.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of 1-[(1R,2R)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-1-methyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propyl]-3-[4-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)phenyl]-2-imidazolidinone (0.5 g), chloromethyl propyl carbonate (3.2 g) and acetonitrile (1 ml) was stirred for 12 hours at 100° C. After having been cooled, the mixture was diluted with diisopropyl ether (10 ml), and the resulting powder was collected by filtration. The powder was subjected to silica gel chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate→acetone→acetone/ethanol=10/1→acetone/ethanol=5/1). The solvent was distilled off, and the residue was subjected to ODS column chromatography (eluent: methanol/water=3/2) to give 1-[(2R,3R)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-3-[2-oxo-3-[4-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)phenyl]-1-imidazolidinyl]butyl]-4-propoxycarbonyloxymethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazolium chloride (Compound 19, 0.02 g) as a white powder. After having been cooled the resulting powder was collected by filtration The solvent was distilled off

Conditions: temp:25.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Chloromethyl chloroformate (0.027 mL, 0.30 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of tert-butyl {(1S,2R)-2-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-hydroxy-1-methylethyl}{[4′-fluoro-5′-isopropyl-2′-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-2-yl]methyl}carbamate (INTERMEDIATE 7, 209 mg, 0.294 mmol) (200 mg, 0.28 mmol) and proton sponge (60 mg, 0.28 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (5.0 mL) at 0° C. under N2. The reaction was stirred at 25° C. for 16 h. The reaction was diluted with water (30 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL). The combined extracts were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product. This was purified by flash chromatography (0-20% gradient EtOAc/hexanes over 30 min) to give (1R,2S)-1-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl){[4′-fluoro-5′-isopropyl-2′-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-2-yl]methyl}amino)propyl chloromethyl carbonate as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.81-6.82 (m, 8 H); 7.08 (dd, J=8.3 Hz, 8.7 Hz, 1 H); 5.68 (m, 2 H); 4.19-4.16 (d, J=16.7 Hz, 1 H); 4.77 (s, 3 H), 3.31-3.24 (m, 1 H); 1.76 (s, 3 H); 1.41 (s, 3 H); 1.22-1.18 (s, 9 H), 1.04 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 3 H). extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL) The combined extracts were dried (MgSO4) concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product This was purified by flash chromatography (0-20% gradient EtOAc/hexanes over 30 min)
