Reaction Steps

To a stirring toluene solution (100 mL) of (3-Amino-4-nitrophenyl)methyl-carbamic acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester (1.10 g, 4.12 mmol) were added 4-ethoxyphenylacetyl chloride (980 mg, 1.2 eq) and zinc dust (400 mg, 1.5 eq). The solution was stirred at rt overnight. Another 0.5 eq of acid chloride and zinc dust were then added and the solution was stirred at rt for another 24 h. The solution was then filtered through celite and rinsed with EtOAc. The organic phase was washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution, brine and dried over anhydrous MgSO4. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography using 2:1/hex:EtOAc on silica gel to yield the desired product [3-[[(4-Ethoxyphenyl)acetyl]amino]-4-nitrophenyl]methyl-carbamic acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester (1.18 g, 67% yield); 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.77 (s, 1H), 8.11 (d, J=9.2 Hz, 1H), 7.22 (m, 3H), 6.93 (d, J=9.2 Hz, 2H), 4.40 (m, 2H), 3.75 (s, 2H), 3.33 (s, 3H), 1.50 (s, 9H), 1.42 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 3H).
