1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → 3-chloro-4-methoxymethoxy-N-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a similar manner to Step 1 of Example 137, 3-chloro-4-methoxymethoxybenzoic acid (2.39 g, 11.0 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (47 mL), and the solution was treated with EDCI (4.23 g, 22.1 mmol), HOBT monohydrate (1.69 g, 11.0 mmol) and cumylamine (3.20 mL, 22.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was added with water. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration and washed with water, followed by drying under reduced pressure to obtain 3-chloro-4-methoxymethoxy-N-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)benzamide (2.83 g, yield 77%).
