1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → 4'-(2,6-Difluoro-benzoylamino)-6-methyl-biphenyl-3-carboxylic acid (2,2-diethoxy-ethyl)-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Compound 1 was hydrolyzed by heating it in a solution of LiOH to yield 4′-(2,6-difluoro-benzoylamino)-6-methyl-biphenyl-3-carboxylic acid. A mixture of 4′-(2,6-difluoro-benzoylamino)-6-methyl-biphenyl-3-carboxylic acid (800 mg, 2.2 mmol), 2,2-diethoxy-ethylamine (0.32 mL, 2.2. mmol), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (EDC) (5 mmol) in dry DMF (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. The mixture was diluted with water (20 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (EtOAc) (2×20 mL). The organic extract was washed with water and dried. The oil obtained on concentration of the organic layer was purified by flash chromatograghed on silica gel to give 4′-(2,6-difluoro-benzoylamino)-6-methyl-biphenyl-3-carboxylic acid (2,2-diethoxy-ethyl)-amide as colorless oil (0.68 g).
