The reaction mixture is stirred for 12 hours at 50° C. The reaction is stopped by addition of 50 mL of water and extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic phases are washed with sodium chloride solution and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvents are evaporated off, and the residue is then purified by chromatography on a column of silica eluted with a 7/3 heptane/ethyl acetate mixture. 860 mg (78%) of ethyl (E)-3-[3′-(3-heptyl-1-methylureido)biphenyl-4-yl]-2-methylacrylate are obtained.
