3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid → HCID 69058599, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid (15.0 g), (1R)-2-amino-1-(3-chlorophenyl)ethanol hydrochloride (18.8 g), and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (14.6 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (100 ml) was added 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (26.0 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated, washed successively with sodium bicarbonate solution and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, hexane/ethyl acetate) to give N-[(2R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanamide (11.61 g) as a white amorphous powder.
