1-Hydroxybenzotriazole → Methyl 5-chloro-2-{[4-({[3-(furan-3-yl)phenyl]carbonyl}amino)butanoyl]amino}benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.00 g (3.3 mmol) of methyl 2-[(4-aminobutanoyl)amino]-5-chlorobenzoate hydrochloride, 0.61 g (3.3 mmol) of 3-(furan-3-yl)benzoic acid, 0.75 g (3.9 mmol) of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride, and 0.53 g (3.9 mmol) of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole were stirred in 10 mL of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) for 2 hours. After the completion of the reaction, ethyl acetate was added, and the mixture was diluted and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and saturated saline. After the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The obtained crude product was recrystallized using a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate and n-hexane, thereby giving 1.22 g of methyl 5-chloro-2-{[4-({[3-(furan-3-yl)phenyl]carbonyl}amino)butanoyl]amino}benzoate (yield: 85%).
