Heptanoic Acid → 2,3-Difluoro-4-[5-(6-octyloxypyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl]phenyl heptanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.7 mmol of DCC are introduced at room temperature into 50 ml of dichloromethane, and 2.4 mmol of 2-(2,3-difluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(6-octyloxypyridin-3-yl)pyrimidine, 2.7 mmol of heptanoic acid and 0.24 mmol of DMAP are added. The reaction mixture is left to stand overnight with exclusion of light, precipitated dicyclohexylurea is then filtered off, and the solvent is removed in vacuo. The crude product is chromatographed on silica gel 60 using dichloromethane/ethyl acetate 20:1 (v/v) as eluent and is recrystallized from acetonitrile, giving 1.0 g (84%) of colorless crystals, X 88 SC 165 SA 167.5 I.
