Glycolic Acid → HCID 57437439, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of glycolic acid (1.5 eq.) in DCM (10 mL), TBTU (1.3 eq.) and DIPEA (4.0 eq.) is added. The mixture is stirred at rt for 10 min before the appropriate 3-[4-(3-amino-2-hydroxy-propoxy)-phenyl]-1-(3,5,5-trimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzo[c]thiophen-1-yl)-propan-1-one (0.5-1.0 mmol, 1. eq.) is added. Stirring is continued at rt for 1 h before another portion of glycolic acid (0.7 eq.) and TBTU (0.6 eq.) is added. The mixture is stirred for another hour, is diluted with DCM and washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 solution. The wash solutions are extracted back with DCM. The combined organic extracts are dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent is evaporated. The crude product is purified by chromatography on prep. TLC plates using DCM containing 5% of methanol to give the desired 2-hydroxy-N-(2-hydroxy-3-{4-[3-oxo-3-(3,5,5-trimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzo[c]thiophen-1-yl)-propyl]-phenoxy}-propyl)-acetamide as an almost colourless foam.
