Reaction Steps

Add cycloheptylamine (0.83 mL, 6.5 mmol), HOBT (838 mg, 6.2 mmol), EDC (1.2 g, 6.2 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (3.2 mL, 18.6 mmol) to a solution of 4-cyano-2-methyl-benzoic acid (1 g, 6.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL) at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. Stir the mixture for 16 h at room temperature. Wash the mixture with water (20 mL), separate and concentrate the organic layer in vacuo. Purify the crude mixture by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc (19:1 to 3:2 gradient) to obtain the desired intermediate (830 mg, 52%). MS (ES+) m/z: 257.3 (M+H)+.
