Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-{[5-methoxy-1-(5-methoxy-3-methyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)pentyl]amino}benzoic acid (400 mg) synthesized in Example A123(3), ethyl 3-(methylamino)propanoate (199 mg), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole monohydrate (233 mg), triethylamine (422 μL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was added 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (291 mg), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 days. Saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added to quench the reaction, and the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (40-80% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title object compound (460 mg, 89%) as a pale-yellow oil.
