Ethyl 3-(methylamino)propanoate → HCID 68512728, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-{[3-methyl-1-(2-methyl-5-phenylfuran-3-yl)butyl]amino}benzoic acid (182 mg), ethyl 3-(methylamino)propanoate (79 mg), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (115 mg), hydroxybenzotriazole monohydrate (92 mg) and triethylamine (84 μL) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 4 hr. Ethyl acetate was added, the mixture was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and water, and the organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give ethyl 3-{methyl[(4-{[3-methyl-1-(2-methyl-5-phenylfuran-3-yl)butyl]amino}phenyl)carbonyl]amino}propanoate. Ethyl 3-{methyl[(4-{[3-methyl-1-(2-methyl-5-phenylfuran-3-yl)butyl]amino}phenyl)carbonyl]amino}propanoate was dissolved in ethanol (2 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) and 1N lithium hydroxide (1.0 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and water (10 mL) was added. The mixture was neutralized with 1N hydrochloric acid under ice-cooling, and stirred for 1 hr. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and dried to give the title compound (186 mg, 83%).
