To a solution of 3-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)benzoic acid (300 mg, 1.3 mmol) in DCM (8 mL) was added EDCI (383 mg, 2.0 mmol), HOBt (270 mg, 2.0 mmol), Et3N (263 mg, 2.6 mmol), 1-amino-3-(isoindolin-2-yl)propan-2-ol (499 mg, 2.6 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 16 h. The crude reaction mixture was washed with water and extracted with DCM. The combined organic layers were concentrated, and the residue was purified by column chromatography to yield the desired product (DCM:MeOH=10:1). (260 mg, yield 49%) MS (ESI+) e/z: 412.2 [M+1]+. 1H NMR (MeOD, 400 MHz), δ ppm: 7.87 (s, 1H), 7.58-7.50 (m, 1H), 7.45-7.38 (m, 1H), 7.34-7.28 (m, 1H), 7.25-7.14 (m, 4H), 4.08-3.96 (m, 5H), 3.63-3.53 (m, 1H), 3.45-3.37 (m, 1H), 2.94-2.80 (m, 2H), 1.53 (s, 9H).
