Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-(ethoxycarbonyl)-4-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenoxy)benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid (450 mg, 1.11 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was added HATU (846 mg, 2.23 mmol), DIEA (719 mg, 5.56 mmol) and the solution was stirred at 0° C. for 15 min. Dimethylamine hydrochloride (136 mg, 1.67 mmol) was added and the solution was warmed gradually to room temperature and stirred for 14 h. Water was added and the product was extracted with CHCl3. The combined organic layers were washed with water (2×), brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. The product was purified by gradient silica gel chromatography using CHCl3/MeOH (100/0 to 95/5) to give the title compound (460 mg, 96%) as a light yellow solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CHLOROFORM-D) δ ppm 1.40 (t, J=7.16 Hz, 3 H) 3.07 (s, 3 H) 3.13 (s, 3 H) 3.33 (s, 3 H) 4.40 (q, J=7.16 Hz, 2 H) 7.07-7.15 (m, 2 H) 7.16 (d, J=0.75 Hz, 1 H) 7.65 (d, J=0.94 Hz, 1 H) 7.87-7.94 (m, 2H) 8.10-8.15 (d, J=0.94 Hz, 1 H).
