Diisopropylethylamine → 4-(2-methoxy-ethoxy)-benzoic acid N'-[2-(2-bromo-4-fluoro-phenoxy)-acetyl]-N'-isopropyl-hydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (2-bromo-4-fluoro-phenoxy)-acetic acid (164 mg, 0.66 mmol) and 4-(2-methoxy-ethoxy)-benzoic acid-N′-isopropyl hydrazide (200 mg, 0.79 mmol) in DMF (5 ml) was treated with diisopropylethyl amine (0.29 mL, 1.65 mmol) and PyBroP (462 mg, 0.99 mmol) at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was partitioned between 1N HCl and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was successively washed with water and brine, then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude was absorbed on silica and purified on a silica gel column with a 45-60% ethyl acetate/hexanes gradient to afford the product as a solid (202 mg, 63%).
