Glycine tert-butyl ester → Tert-butyl 2-(2-cyano-6-(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-ylamino)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-hydroxy-6-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline-2-carbonitrile (2 g, 8.4 mmol) from example 21, step D, in dry dioxane was added TEA (2.9 mL, 21 mmol) and PyBroP (4.75 g, 10 mmol) and stirred at 50 C for 2 hour. To this solution tert-butyl 2-aminoacetate (1.3 g, 10.1 mmol) was added and stirred at 30° C. for 24 h. The solution was concentrated in vacuo. Water was added to the residue and extracted with EtOAc. The ethyl acetate was removed under vacuum and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 0 to 80% EtOAc in hexane) to give the title compound.
