Beta-Alanine → HCID 71736104, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-cyano-6-(2,6-dimethyl-phenoxy)-4-hydroxy-isoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid butyl ester (80 mg, 0.20 mmol), β-alanine (365 mg, 4.10 mmol) and NaOMe (166 mg, 3.07 mmol) in 2-methoxyethanol (10 mL) was refluxed for 2 h. After the mixture was cooled to r.t., solvent was evaporated. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc (50 mL) and water (50 mL). 1 M HCl was added with vigorous stirring until pH was ˜2. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (0-60% EtOAc/hexanes+2% AcOH) to give 47 mg of the title compound. MS: (+) m/z 406.21 (M+1).
