Aniline → [4-(4-Phenylcarbamoylmethoxyphenyl)butyl]carbamic acid benzyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of [4-(4-benzyloxycarbonylaminobutyl)phenoxy]acetic acid (300 mg, 0.84 mmol), aniline (0.15 mL, 1.70 mmol), DMAP (60 mg, 0.50 mmol) and EDC.HCl (320 mg, 1.70 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (30 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 66 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum and the residue was subjected to flash silica gel column chromatography eluting with methanol/CH2Cl2 (1:99, v/v) to give the desired amide 18 as a white solid (360 mg, 99% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.55 (m, 4H), 2.60 (m, 2H), 3.20 (m, 2H), 4.58 (s, 2H), 4.70 (br s, 1H), 5.10 (s, 2H), 6.88 (d, 2H), 7.15 (m, 31), 7.35 (m, 7H), 7.58 (d, 2H), 8.25 (s, 1H). m/7/z (ESI): 433 [C26H28N2O4+H]+.
