Succinic anhydride → Succinic Acid mono-(5-[bis-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-phenyl-methoxymethyl]-1-{6-[2-(2-hexadecyl-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-chroman-6-yloxy)-ethoxycarbonylamino]-hexanoyl}-pyrrolidin-3-yl)ester

Reaction Steps

Referring to scheme 7, Compound 19 (5.1 g, 5 mmol) was mixed with succinic anhydride (0.75 g, 7.5 mmol) and DMAP (0.062 g, 0.5 mmol) and dried in a vacuum at 40° C. overnight. The mixture was dissolved in anhydrous dichloromethane (25 mL), triethylamine (1.52 g, 2 mL, 15 mmol) was added and the solution was stirred at room temperature under argon atmosphere for 16 h. It was then diluted with dichloromethane (50 mL) and washed with ice cold aqueous citric acid (5% wt., 50 mL) and water (2×50 mL). The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to dryness. The crude product was purified by column chromatography to afford compound 21 as white foamy solid (2.85 g, 51% yield; Rf=0.65 in 10% MeOH/CHCl3).
