Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-dodecyl-3,5-bis(m-trifluoromethylphenyl)4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzamide (0.254 g, 0.40 mmol) in CH3CN was added NMO (0.145 g, 0.89 mmol) and TPAP (0.014 g, 0.04 mmol). The reaction was stirred at rt overnight. Additional NMO (0.045 g, 0.38 mmol) and TPAP (0.013 g, 0.04 mmol) were required as indicated by TLC. After stirring 48 h, 10% NaHSO3 solution was added and the resulting biphasic mixture was stirred vigorously for 30 min. Conc. HCl (2 mL) was added and stirring was continued for 10 min. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organics were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (30% EtOAc:Hexane+1% Formic acid) followed by preparatory plate chromatography (30% EtOAc:Hexane+1% Formic acid) to afford the title compound (0.089 g, 34%) as a white solid. mp 154.3-158.2° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ8.55 (t, 1H); 7.98-7.88 (m, 6H); 7.78-7.67 (m, 4H); 3.57 (s, 2H); 3.25 (m, 2H); 1.50 (m, 2H); 1.23 (m, 18H); 0.82 (t, 3H); IR (KBr) 3275, 2900, 1725, 1600, 1575, 1460, 1325, 1190, 1125, 1075, 775, 725, 700, 625 cm−1; mass spectrum [(−)ESI], m/z 650 (M−H)−; Anal.
