Ethyl Acetate → 5-[(R)-2-{Benzyl-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]amino}-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)ethyl]-8-benzyloxy-1H-quinolin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 4-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl ester (3.78 g, 10.7 mmol); 5-[(R)-2-benzylamino-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)ethyl]-8-benzyloxy-1H-quinolin-2-one (4.620 g, 8.975 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (3.59 mL, 20.6 mmol) in acetonitrile (39.2 mL) was heated at 65° C. overnight. After cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature, EtOAc (20 mL) was added and this mixture was washed with brine (20 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-30% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the title compound (3.0 g, 50% yield) as a yellow oil.
