Participants

Reaction Steps

To 110 mg (0.53 mmol) of 4-methoxy-3-methyl-benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid was added 2 mL of oxalyl chloride and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 4 h in the presence of a catalytic amount of DMF, then the excess oxalyl chloride was removed under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in 2 mL of dichloromethane and was added to a mixture of 232 mg (0.64 mmol) of (S)-2-(4′-amino-biphenyl-4-sulfonylamino)-3-methyl-butyric acid methyl ester and 2 mL of pyridine in an ice/water bath. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. All the solvents were removed under vacuum. Column chromatography on silica gel gave 95 mg (33% yield) of (S)-2-{4′-[(4-methoxy-3-methyl-benzofuran-2-carbonyl)-amino]-biphenyl-4-sulfonylamino}-3-methyl-butyric acid methyl ester as off white solid.
