Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under nitrogen atmosphere, a mixture of methyl 4-{[2-amino-6-({[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)amino]carbonothioyl}amino)phenyl]amino}-3-hydroxybutanoate (Reference Example 81; 1.42 g, 3.20 mmol), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (1.84 g, 9.60 mmol) and tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) was stirred at 50° C. for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 20-50% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient to give the title compound as an oil (790 mg, 1.93 mmol, 60%).
