Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 23118563, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2.00 g (9.00 mmol) of 4-(2-aminobenzoylamino)butanoic acid in 40 ml of dry methylene chloride, add 8.36 g (77.00 mmol) of trimethylsilyl chloride and allow the reaction to reflux for 5 hours. Then place the flask in an ice bath and add 1.17 g (11.50 mmol) of triethylamine and a solution of 1.45 g (7.70 mmol) of 4-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoyl chloride dissolved in 5 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 30 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 ether. Purify the reaction product by recrystallization (EtOH/H2O). This yields 1.35 g (47%) of 4-[2-(4-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoylamino)benzoylamino]butanoic acid as a white solid.
