Hydrochloric Acid → N-[2-(N-{4-[(methoxymethyl)-cyclopropyl]phenyl}carbamoyl)phenyl]-N-(4-pyridylmethyl)-acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 2-[N-(4-pyridyl-methyl)acetylamino]benzoate (300 mg) and 5 N NaOH (2 ml) in EtOH (20 ml) was stirred at RT for three hours. The solution was neutralized with 5 N HCl and evaporated to dryness. The residue was washed with methanol and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated and the residue was mixed with 4-[(methoxymethyl)cyclobutyl]phenylamine (1 eq), EDCI (1.25 eq), HOBt (1 eq) and DIEA (1.25 eq) in DMF (10 ml) and stirred overnight. The solution was mixed with dichloromethane (80 ml) and washed with water three times followed by brine, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated, further purified by preparative TLC to give N-[2-(N-{4-[(methoxymethyl)-cyclopropyl]phenyl}carbamoyl)phenyl]-N-(4-pyridylmethyl)-acetamide
