Sodium Iodide → Methyl 3-[2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)-3'-(1-methyl-3-pentylureido)biphenyl-4-yl]propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to that of Example (25a), by reaction of 230 mg (1 mmol, 1.5 eq) of 2-bromoethyl ethyl ether and 400 mg (1.0 mmol, 1 eq) of methyl 3-[2-hydroxy-3′-(1-methyl-3-pentylureido)biphenyl-4-yl]propanoate (prepared as in Example 46d) in 10 ml of methyl ethyl ketone in the presence of 415 mg (3.0 mmol, 3 eq) of potassium carbonate and 60 mg (0.4 mmol, 0.4 eq) of sodium iodide at 90° C. for 48 hours, 450 mg of methyl 3-[2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)-3′-(1-methyl-3-pentylureido)biphenyl-4-yl]propanoate are obtained in the form of a yellow oil. Yield=96%
