Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-benzyloxy-4-methoxy-2-(5-methyl-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl)benzoic acid (reference example 5-1) (500 mg), benzotriazol-1-yloxytripyrrolidinephosphonium hexafluorophosphate (1.15 g), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (20 mg), methylene chloride (3 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (3 mL) were added aniline (0.2 mL) and triethylamine (0.62 mL). After stirring at room temperature for 4 hours, ethyl acetate and 2 mol/L hydrochloric acid were added to the mixture. The separated organic layer was washed with a 2 mol/L aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and brine successively, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with methanol to give the title compound (449 mg).
