Benzyl Alcohol → Benzyl 3-[(2-acetylthiomethyl-3-phenylpropionyl)amino]benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-[(2-Acetylthiomethyl-3-phenylpropionyl)amino]-benzoic acid prepared in Example 68-(b)-[1] (0.3 g), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.01 g) and benzyl alcohol (0.1 g) are dissolved in dichloromethane (25 ml), and thereto is added EDC.HCl (0.18 g), and the mixture is stirred at room temperature three nights. The reaction mixture is washed with saturated aqueous citric acid solution, water, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and water in this order, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by a silica gel column chromatography (eluant, chloroform) to give the title compound (0.26 g).
