Acetic Acid → Methyl 3-[((4-chlorobenzoyl)ethoxycarbonylmethylamino)methyl]-4-[4-(2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-ylcarbonyl)benzylamino]benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

660 mg (1.63 mmol) of methyl 3-[((4-chlorobenzoyl)ethoxycarbonylmethylamino)methyl]-4-aminobenzoate and 431 mg (2.1 mmol) of 4-(2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-ylcarbonyl)benzaldehyde were dissolved in 10 ml of dichloromethane. 0.185 ml (3.26 mmol) of acetic acid was added to the solution, and they were stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. 860 mg (4.1 mmol) of sodium triacetoxyborohydride was added to the obtained mixture, and they were stirred at room temperature overnight. After the treatment with dichloromethane as the extracting solvent by an ordinary method, the obtained crude product was purified by the silica gel column chromatography to obtain the title compound.
