Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 4-benzylaminobenzoate (6.0 g) in methylene chloride (60 mL) is added dropwise chlorobutyryl chloride (3.95 mL) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (6.14 mL) under ice-cooling, and the mixture is stirred for 12 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with chloroform and thereto is added 10% HCl. The organic layer is separated, washed successively with water, a saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, water, and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (Solvent; n-hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1) to give ethyl 4-[N-benzyl-N-(4-chlorobutyryl)amino]benzoate (8.27 g, yield; quantitative) as an oil.
