Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2.60 g (11.00 mmol) of methyl 4-(3-aminobenzoylamino)butanoate dissolved in 25 ml of ethyl acetate, very slowly add 1.40 g (10.00 mmol) of 2-hydroxybenzoyl chloride dissolved in 5 ml of ethyl acetate. Then add 1.00 g (10.00 mmol) of Et3N (triethylamine) and keep the reaction mixture at room temperature for 24 hours. Eliminate the solvent at low pressure, add 40 ml of 10% NaOH to the crude product and continue stirring the mixture until the oil has completely disappeared. Immediately acidify with concentrated HCl, filter the resulting solid and wash several times with water. Purify the reaction product by recrystallization (EtOH/H2O). This yields 1.60 g (48%) of 4-[3-(2-hydroxybenzoylamino) benzoylamino]butanoic acid as a white solid.
