Reaction Steps

A mixture of compound 7B (30 mg, 0.088 mmol), 2-methoxy caproic acid (20 mg, 0.137 mmol), 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethylcarbodimide hydrochloride (34 mg, 0.177 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (24 mg, 0.177 mmol) and dichloromethane (1 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in minimum amount of dichloromethane and purified on silica gel column, which was eluted with 0.3% ammonium hydroxide and 3% methanol in dichloromethane to give the desired product (38 mg, 92% yield).
