Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to that of Example (25a), by reaction of 500 μL (3.8 mmol, 3.8 eq) of 1-iodopentane and 400 mg (1.0 mmol, 1 eq) of methyl 3-[2-hydroxy-3′-(1-methyl-3-pentylureido)biphenyl-4-yl]propanoate in 10 ml of methyl ethyl ketone in the presence of 500 mg (3.61 mmol, 3.6 eq) of potassium carbonate at 80° C. for 12 hours, methyl 3-[3′-(1-methyl-3-pentylureido)-2-pentyloxybiphenyl-4-yl]propanoate is obtained in oil form and is used in the following reaction without further purification.
