Methyl 4-amino-2,5-dimethylbenzoate → Methyl 4-{3-[4-(biphenyl-2-ylcarbamoyloxy)piperidin-1-yl]propionylamino}-2,5-dimethylbenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-[4-(biphenyl-2-ylcarbamoyloxy)piperidin-1-yl]propionic acid (670 mg, 1.82 mmol) and methyl 4-amino-2,5-dimethylbenzoate (390 mg, 2.18 mmol) in dichloromethane (3.6 mL) and diisopropylethylamine (0.413 mL) was added O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU) (829 mg, 2.18 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was then washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with dichloromethane containing from 3% to 5% methanol to provide methyl 4-{3-[4-(biphenyl-2-ylcarbamoyloxy)piperidin-1-yl]propionylamino}-2,5-dimethylbenzoate (568 mg, 59% yield). LCMS (10-70) Rt=4.55; [M+H+] found 530.4.
