Reaction Steps

N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) (700 mg, 3.65 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (550 mg, 3.59 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) (1.2 ml, 6.87 mmol) were successively added to a solution of (2-phenylthiazol-4-yl)nicotinic acid (820 mg, 2.90 mmol) and 4-ethoxy-3-hydroxy-4-oxo-1-phenylbutan-2-aminium chloride (800 mg, 3.08 mmol) in dichloromethane (70 ml) at 5° C., and the mixture stirred at 5° C. for about 5 minutes. A pH of 8 was adjusted by adding 0.6 ml of DIPEA, the mixture stirred for 1 hour at 5° C. and then overnight at room temperature. The mixture then was concentrated under reduced pressure, poured into 200 ml of water, the precipitate formed was filtered off with suction and dried in vacuo to give 1.33 g of the title product as white amorphous solid.
