Triethylamine → 2-(4-Cyano-3-methoxyphenyl)-N-((2-m-tolyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)methyl)propanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-(4-cyano-3-methoxyphenyl)propanoic acid (112 mg, 0.545 mmol) and (2-m-tolyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)methanamine (145 mg, 0.546 mmol) in acetonitrile were added N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide (157 mg, 0.819 mmol), N-hydroxybenzotriazole (111 mg, 0.819 mmol) and triethylamine (0.19 mL, 1.36 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 15 h at room temperature. The residue dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate removed in vacuo. The crude was purified by column chromatography. 2-(4-Cyano-3-methoxyphenyl)-N-((2-m-tolyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)methyl)propanamide (222 mg) was obtained as 90% yield.
