Triethylamine → ethyl 3-methoxy-4-[2-[3-methoxy-4-[N'-(2-methylphenyl)ureido]phenylacetyl]ethylaminoethoxy]benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of ethyl 3-methoxy-4-(2-ethylaminoethoxy)benzoate (290 mg, 1.08 mmol) and pentafluorophenyl ester of 3-methoxy-4-[N′-(2-methylphenyl)ureido]phenylacetic acid (502 mg, 1.05 mmol) in DMF (7 mL) was added Et3N (250 μl, 1.79 mmol), and the resulting mixture was stirred overnight. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc, washed with 0.5 N HCl, brine, and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica-gel with CHCl3—MeOH (40:1, v/v) as an eluent to give 550 mg (93%) ethyl 3-methoxy-4-[2-[3-methoxy-4-[N′-(2-methylphenyl)ureido]phenylacetyl]ethylaminoethoxy]benzoate as an amorphous solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) d 1.11-1.18 (m, 3 H), 1.37-1.41 (m, 3 H), 2.30 (s, 3 H), 3.47-3.53 (m, 2 H), 3.61-3.75 (m, 7 H), 3.84 (s, 3 H), 4.03-4.27 (m, 2 H), 4.33-4.39 (m, 2 H), 6.34-8.07 (series of m, total 12 H).
