1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → N-[(R)-1-[3-(1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-piperidyl)-(E)-acryloyl]-3-piperidylcarbonyl]-3(R)-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-beta-alanine methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3(R)-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-β-alanine methyl ester (0.87 g), (R)-1-[3-(1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-piperidyl)-(E)-acryloyl]-3-piperidinecarboxylic acid (1.19 g) and 1-hydroxybenztriazole (0.44 g) in dimethylformamide (9 ml) was added 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (0.59 ml) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature, and then poured into water. The whole was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with aqueous saturated NaHCO3, water, and brine, dried over MgSO4, and evaporated in vacuo, subsequently. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate: n-hexane=(5:1) to give N-[(R)-1-[3-(1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-piperidyl)-(E)-acryloyl]-3-piperidylcarbonyl]-3(R)-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-β-alanine methyl ester as a colorless oil (1.83 g).
