Procedure

Firstly N-methylmorpholine (6.15 mL, 5.64 g, 55.8 mmol) and then O-(benzotriazol1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′,-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (10.15 g, 26.8 mmol) are added to a stirred mixture of 2-{[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]amino}-6-methylbenzoic acid (5.60 g, 22.3 mmol) and p-toluidine 4.78 g, 44.6 mmol) in dry dimethylformamide (110 mL) under an argon atmosphere, and stirred at 18° C. for 16 hours. The solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure to give a residue which is treated with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (200 mL of 10%) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×100 mL). The combined extracts are washed with aqueous citric acid solution (100 mL of 10%), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and the solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure to yield the crude product which is purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluent 20% ethyl acetate in hexane, and recrystallised from tert-butyl-methyl-ether-hexane to give the title compound as a colourless crystalline solid, m.p. 250° C.
