1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → HCID 131735954, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(2,4-Difluoro-phenyl)-acrylic acid (9.5 g, 51.4 mmol) prepared in Step 1, N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (6.5 g, 66.8 mmol), HOBT (7.6 g, 56.5 mmol), EDAC (10.8 g, 56.5 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (9.8 mL, 56.5 mmol) were added to dichloromethane (250.0 mL). The reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 24 hours, quenched with a saturated solution of ammonium chloride, and then extracted with dichloromethane. The extract was washed with brine, dried on anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to give a yellow liquid residue. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/n-hexane=1/3) to give 10.1 g of the titled compound as a yellow liquid.
