Phenyl acetate → 4-[5-[4-(acetyliminoaminomethyl)phenoxy]pentyloxy]-3-methoxy-N,N-bis(1-methylethyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 4-[5-[4-(aminoiminomethyl)phenoxy]pentyloxy]-3-methoxy-N,N-bis(1-methylethyl)benzamide (40.0 g, 87.7 mmol) in 500 mL anhydrous methylene chloride is treated with phenyl acetate (11.1 mL, 87.7 mmol). The solution is stirred 3 hours, concentrated in vacuo and the resulting liquid is purified by chromatography on silica gel (850 g) with 30% ethyl acetate/hexane as the eluent to afford 4-[5-[4-(acetyliminoaminomethyl)phenoxy]pentyloxy]-3-methoxy-N,N-bis(1-methylethyl)benzamide as a colorless foam:
