Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(trans-4-hydroxycyclohexylamino)-5-nitro-N-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethyl)benzamide (100 mg), benzoic acid (32.5 mg) and diethyl azodicarboxylate (46.3 mg) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) was added triphenylphosphine (69.8 mg). The mixture was stirred for 4 hours at ambient temperature. The mixture was partitioned between an aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and ethyl acetate. The separated organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography eluting with a mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate (5:1 to 3:1). The obtained product was triturated with diisopropyl ether to give 2-[cis-4-(benzoyloxy)cyclohexylamino]-5-nitro-N-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethyl)benzamide as yellow powders (68.5 mg).
