Methyl 3-amino-2-methylpropanoate → 3-(4-Methoxy-quinolin-2-ylamino)-2-methyl-propionic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1,1,1-trifluoromethanesulfonic acid 4-methoxyquinolin-2-yl ester [from Example 1b] (2.03 g, 6.61 mmol) and 3-amino-2-methyl-propionic acid methyl ester (1.5 eq, 1.52 g, 9.91 mmol) in acetonitrile (25 mL) was heated at reflux for five days. It was cooled to room temperature and evaporated to an oil. The crude product was purified via column chromatography on silica (1:1 ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the product (0.75 g, 42%) as an orange oil. [M+H]+ 275.
