2-Ethylbutyric acid → HCID 69907473, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl (R)-N-[2-[7-carbamoyl-1-(3-hydroxy-propyl)-1H-indol-5-yl]-1-methylethyl]-N-[2-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenoxy]ethyl]carbamate (2.00 g) was dissolved in dry pyridine (3 ml), and 2-ethylbutyryl chloride (0.54 g) prepared from 2-ethylbutyric acid and oxalyl chloride was added to the solution. After the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature, a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and brine subsequently, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent:hexane/ethyl acetate=2/1) to give white amorphous (R)-3-[5-[2-[N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-N-[2-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenoxy]ethyl]amino]propyl]-7-carbamoyl-1H-indol-1-yl]propyl 2-ethylbutyrate (1.66 g).
