Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-(4-{3-[(3-methyl-2-furoyl)amino]phenoxy}pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (70 mg, 0.17 mmol), ethylene glycol (1 ml), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyllaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC.HCl, 40 mg, 0.21 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP, 10 mg, 0.08 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (10 ml) was stirred at 70° C. for 3 hours then room temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was poured into 100 ml of water. Saturated NaHCO3 solution was added until pH=9. The precipitates were filtered, washed with water and dried in vacuo to give the crude, which was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with a gradient of 3˜4% MeOH/CHCl3 to give 2-hydroxyethyl 5-(4-{3-[(3-methyl-2-furoyl)amino]phenoxy}pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate as white solid. Yield: 40 mg, 51%.
