Ethyl orthoformate → HCID 67426381, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The crude 4-{3-[5-carbamoyl-4-(3-chloro-phenyl)-thiazole-2-ylamino]-4-nitro-phenoxy}-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (VII.21) was dissolved in 4 mL of acetic acid and 0.14 mL (0.84 mmole) of triethyl orthoformate. The mixture was heated at 70 degrees for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with ethyl acetate-dichloromethane (gradient 50:50-100:0) to give 0.10 g of 4-{3-[5-carbamoyl-4-(3-chloro-phenyl)-thiazole-2-yl]-3H-benzoimidazol-5-yloxy}-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (I.21a).
