Sodium Iodide → HCID 19388920, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.1 g (2.63 mmol) of 3-(acetylamino)-5-(octadecyloxy)benzenamine, 4.2 ml (26 mmol) of benzyl bromoacetate, 1.4 g (6.6 mmol) of 1,8-bis-(dimethylamino)naphthalene and 0.4 g (2.63 mmol) of sodium iodide in 40 ml of acetonitrile and 5 ml of DMF was stirred at reflux for 48 hours. The solvents were removed at reduced pressure and the residue was purified by HPLC using 35% ethyl acetate-hexane to give 0.3 g (16% yield, mp 89°-90°) of N-[3-(acetylamino)-5-(octadecyloxy)phenyl]-N-[2-oxo-2-(phenylmethoxy)ethyl]glycine benzyl ester. The structure was confirmed by nmr and mass spectra.
