Dimethylformamide → 4-{(S)-2-[(4-Benzyloxycarbonylmethoxy-quinoline-2-carbonyl)-amino]-4-tert-butoxycarbonyl-butyryl}-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6.2 g of 4-{(S)-4-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-2-[(4-hydroxy-quinoline-2-carbonyl)-amino]-butyryl}-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester 80 ml of DMF, 4.3 g of cesium carbonate and 2.5 g of Bromo-acetic acid benzyl ester was added and stirred for 2 h. Then, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×150 ml). The combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4 and the solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel eluting with a gradient of n-heptane/ethyl acetate. The fractions containing the product were combined and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure. Yield: 4.4 g.
