Water → Methyl 4-[2-(3-dimethylaminobenzofuran-2-ylcarbonylamino)ethoxy]benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 3-dimethylaminomethylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid (140 mg, 0.56 mmol) was added EDC.HCl (150 mg, 0.784 mmol) and HOBt.H2O (114 mg, 0.84 mmol) in anhydrous DMF. The reaction mixture was stiffed for 30-60 min., after which methyl-(4-(2-ethoxyamine))benzoate hydrochloric salt (130 mg, 0.56 mmol) and triethylamine (94 μL, 0.672 mmol) were added and the reaction was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed twice with saturated NaHCO3 (aq.) and brine. The organic extract was concentrated in vacuo to give methyl 4-[2-(3-dimethylaminobenzofuran-2-ylcarbonylamino)ethoxy]benzoate, which was then used without further purification.
