Triethylamine → Ethyl 4-(2-(11-carbomethoxyundecanoylamino)phenoxy)butyrate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred, ice-cold solution of 0.89 g (4.0 mM) amine (4) and dried triethylamine (1.2 mL) in dry ether (40 mL) is added dropwise over ca. 4 minutes a solution of acid chloride (7) (1.04 g, 4.6 mM) in 20 mL of dry ether. The resultant mixture is allowed to stir cold for 20 minutes, and then at room temperature overnight. After filtering off the triethylamine hydrochloride, the ether filtrate is concentrated in vacuo and the residue chromatographed on an 82 g silica gel column using 20% ethyl acetate/hexane as eluant to give 1.49 g (85%) of (8) as a waxy solid.
