Participants

Reaction Steps

As shown in Reaction Scheme 11, a mixture of methyl 2-methyl-N-[(4′-nitrobiphenyl-4-yl)carbonyl]alaninate (1.32 g, 3.9 mmol), sodium hydride (117 mg, 4.6 mmol), and N,N-dimethylformamide (15 mL) was stirred for 2 h at rt. Iodomethane (0.48 mL, 7.7 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at rt. Water (30 mL) was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×10 mL). The combined extracts were evaporated to dryness, and crude product was purified by flash chromatography (Biotage®, 4:1 hexanes/EtOAc) to yield methyl N,2-dimethyl-N-[(4′-nitrobiphenyl-4-yl)carbonyl]alaninate as an off-white solid (1.29 g, 94%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.47 (s, 6H), 2.93 (s, 3H), 3.58 (s, 3H), 7.52 (d, 2H), 7.84 (d, 2H), 7.98 (d, 2H), 8.30 (d, 2H); LC-MS m/z 356.9 (MH+), retention time 2.98 minutes.
