Participants

Reaction Steps

To methyl 3-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-6-quinolinyl]-2-[(2-isopropoxy-3,4-dioxo-1-cyclobuten-1-yl)amino]propanoate 116 (690 mg) in CH3OH (20 ml) are added 132 μl of n-propylamine. After addition of DMF (15 ml), the solution is stirred at RT overnight. The evaporation of CH3OH gives a DMF residue that is diluted in water (200 ml) and stirred overnight. The solid is filtered, washed with water then with MeOH, diluted in DMF, and n-propylamine (150 μl) is added to drive the reaction to completion. The solution is stirred at RT for 48 h, then poured into water. DMF is evaporated and the resulting solid is filtered, washed with water and dried. The product is purified by HPLC/MS (eluent: CH3CN/water/TFA, 8 minutes gradient from respectively 5/95/0.1 to 95/5/0.1). CH3CN is evaporated and water is added to the residue. The resulting solid is filtered and dried to give methyl 3-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-6-quinolinyl]-2-{[3,4-dioxo-2-(propylamino)-1-cyclobuten-1-yl]amino}propanoate 123.
