Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-{4-[4-({[(2-fluoro-5-methylphenyl)amino]carbonyl}amino)phenoxy]pyridin-2-yl}-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (50 mg, 0.11 mmol), ethylene glycol (1 ml), 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC.HCl, 25 mg, 0.13 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP, 5 mg, 0.04 mmol) in anhydrous THF (10 ml) was stirred at 60° C. for 16 hours. The mixture was poured into 100 ml of water. 2M HCl was added dropwise until pH=4. The precipitates were filtered, washed with water and dried in vacuo to give the crude, which was purified by silica gel chromatography with a gradient of 3˜5% MeOH/CHCl3 to give 2-hydroxyethyl 5-{4-[4-({[(2-fluoro-5-methylphenyl)amino]carbonyl}amino)phenoxy]pyridin-2-yl}-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate as white solid. Yield: 36 mg, 67%.
