Reaction Steps

As shown in Reaction Scheme 11, to a solution of methyl N,2-dimethyl-N-[(4′-nitrobiphenyl-4-yl)carbonyl]alaninate (1.92 g, 5.4 mmol) in 85% ethanol (50 mL) was added iron powder (3.01 g, 53.88 mmol) and 2 M aqueous HCl solution (2.69 mL, 5.4 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated at reflux for 2.5 h. The mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite® and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford methyl N-[(4′-aminobiphenyl-4-yl)carbonyl]-N,2-dimethylalaninate as a yellow solid (1.44 g, 82%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.42 (s, 6H), 2.94 (s, 3H), 3.57 (s, 3H), 5.30 (broad s, 2H), 6.61 (d, 2H), 7.31-7.40 (m, 4H), 7.58 (d, 2H); LC-MS m/z 327.2 (MH+), retention time 1.84 minutes.
