Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.0 g (1.92 mol) of N-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)-N-[3-hydroxy-5-(octadecyloxy)phenyl]glycine methyl ester, 0.59 g (2.01 mmol) of 3-(3-bromopropoxy)bromobenzene, 0.53 g (3.83 mmol) of potassium carbonate and 0.29 g (1.92 mmol) of sodium iodide in 30 ml of acetone and 6 ml of DMF was stirred at reflux under argon for 65 hours. The solvents were removed at reduced pressure and the residue was treated with methylene chloride and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and crystallized from methylene chloride-methanol to give 0.99 g (70%, mp 48°-50°) of N-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)-N-[3-[3-(3-bromophenoxy)propoxy]-5-(octadecyloxy)phenyl]glycine methyl ester.
