Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (0.61 ml, 6.99 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 3-[(methyloxy)carbonyl]-4-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]benzoic acid (may be prepared as described in Description 49; 400 mg, 1.40 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 ml) and dimethylformamide (3 drops) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The solvent was removed. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (5 ml). This mixture was added to a solution of morpholine (609 mg, 6.99 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Water (60 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3×60 ml). The organic phase was washed with saturated brine (50 ml), dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo to give the crude product as colourless oil. The crude product was loaded onto a silica gel column and was eluted with dichloromethane/methanol=20:1 to yield the title compound as a colourless oil. 450 mg.
