Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 20.36 g (91.71 mmol) of 4-(2-aminobenzoylamino)butanoic acid in 200 ml of dry methylene chloride, add 42.33 g (391.92 mmol) of trimethylsilyl chloride and allow the reaction to reflux for 5 hours. Then place the flask in an ice bath and add 11.87 g (117.57 mmol) of triethylamine and a solution of 15.52 g (78.38 mmol) of acetylsalicyloyl chloride dissolved in 20 ml of dry methylene chloride. Allow the reaction to stir for 30 minutes in an ice bath and 24 hours at room temperature. Eliminate the solvent at low pressure, add 200 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 and with ether. Purify the reaction product by recrystallization (EtOH/H2O). This yields 21.66 g (81%) of 4-[2-(2-hydroxy-benzoylamino)benzoylamino]butanoic acid as a white solid.
