Ethyl 3-aminobenzoate → HCID 1722082, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-aminobenzoate (5.02 g) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA, 50 ml) was added dropwise pentanoyl chloride (4.0 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. Saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. The mixture was partitioned and extracted by adding ethyl acetate, and the extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to give ethyl 3-(N-pentanoyl)aminobenzoate (7.55 g). To a solution of the obtained amide compound in DMA (100 ml) was added potassium tert-butoxide (4.09 g), and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. To the reaction mixture was added [4-[2-(3-triphenylmethyl-3H-tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl]phenyl]methylbromide (18.6 g), and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 3 hrs. The reaction mixture was added to ethyl acetate-water and, after partitioning and extraction, the extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluted with hexane-ethyl acetate:3-2 v/v) to give the object compound (20.6 g, yield 93.6%).
