Diisopropylethylamine → N-(3-Isopropyl-isoxazol-5-ylmethyl)-6-(5-methyl-3-phenyl-isoxazol-4-ylmethoxy)-nicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-(5-methyl-3-phenyl-isoxazol-4-ylmethoxy)-nicotinic acid (100 mg, 0.32 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) were added 2-(1H-benzotriazole-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (114 mg, 0.35 mmol), N,N-diisopropyl ethyl amine (275 μL, 1.6 mmol) and 5-aminomethyl-3-isopropylisoxazole (1 M solution in trifluoroacetic acid, 354 μL, 0.35 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. Concentration and purification by chromatography (SiO2, heptane:ethyl acetate=100:0 to 1:1) afforded the title compound (112 mg, 81%) which was obtained as a colourless gum. MS: m/e=433.3 [M+H]+.
