Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

572 μL (3.5 mmol, 2 eq) of heptyl isocyanate are added to a solution of 500 mg (1.76 mmol, 1 eq) of ethyl 3-[6-(3-methylaminophenyl)pyrid-3-yl]propanoate in 10 mL of a 4/1 tetrahydrofuran/triethylamine mixture. The reaction mixture is stirred for 24 hours at 40° C. The reaction is stopped by adding 30 ml of water and is then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvents are evaporated off and the residue is then chromatographed on silica gel (70/30 heptane/ethyl acetate). 488 mg of ethyl 3-{6-[3-(3-heptyl-1-methylureido)phenyl]pyrid-3-yl}propanoate are obtained. Yield=65%.
