Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[1-(4-(ethoxycarbonyl)piperazin-1-yl)carbonyl-2-(imidazol-4-yl)ethyl]aminocarbonyl-4-methoxyquinoline (69 mg, 0.14 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) was added t-butyl bromo acetate (0.026 mL, 1.2 eq.), potassium carbonate (30 mg, 1.5 eq), NaI (2.0 mg, 0.1 eq.). The reaction mixture was heated at 50° C. for 1 hour. Evaporation followed by flash column chromatography with 2%–3% MeOH in methylene chloride afforded 2-[1-(4-(ethoxycarbonyl)piperazin-1-yl)carbonyl-2-(1-(t-butoxycarbonyl)methyl)imidazol-4-yl)ethyl]aminocarbonyl-4-methoxyquinoline (25 mg) which was treated with neat trifluoroacetic acid (0.5 mL) for 1.5 hours at ambient temperature. Repeated evaporation of the solvents and treatment with methylene chloride afforded 2-[1-(4-(ethoxycarbonyl)piperazin-1-yl)carbonyl-2-(1-(carboxymethyl)imidazol-4-yl)ethyl]-aminocarbonyl-4-methoxyquinoline (27 mg) as a trifluoroacetic acide salt: NMR (DMSO) 1.20 (t, 3), 3.2–3.6 (m, 11), 4.05 (q, 2), 4.1 (s, 3), 5.0 (s, 2), 5.3 (m, 1), 7.45 (s, 1), 7.5 (s, 1), 7.65 (t, 1), 7.8 (t, 1), 8.05 (d, 1), 8.16 (d, 1), 8.95 (s, 1) ppm.
