Ethyl Acetate → Methyl n-{4-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-propylpent-4-en-1-yl]benzoyl}-beta-alaninate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A DMF solution (20 ml) containing INTERMEDIATE 1 (1.66 g, 4.84 mmol), methyl β-alaninate hydrochloride (1.01 g, 7.26 mmol), DIEA (4.3 ml, 24.2 mmol) and BOP (3.21 g, 7.26 mmol) was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The solution was diluted with EtOAc and washed with water, brine and dried over Na2SO4. The filtered solution was concentrated and the residue purified by silica gel chromatography using a hexanes/EtOAc gradient to give the title compound. 1H NMR for the major diastereomer (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.72 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H); 7.28 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H); 7.22 (d, J=8.2 Hz); 7.07 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H); 6.85-6.81 (m, 1H); 5.41-5.31 (m, 1H); 4.77-4.66 (m, 2H); 3.75-3.70 (m, 2H); 3.73 (s, 3H); 2.81-2.72 (m, 2H); 2.67 (t, J=5.9 Hz, 2H); 2.10-2.05 (m, 2H); 1.40-1.29 (m, 2H); 0.98-0.85 (m, 2H); 0.66 (t, J=7.3 Hz, 3H).
