Sodium Chloride → Ethyl ({4-[3-(4-fluorobenzyl)-4-methoxybenzyl]-3,5-dimethylphenyl}amino)(oxo)-acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

335 mg (0.96 mmol) of 4-[3-(4-fluorobenzyl)-4-methoxybenzyl]-3,5-dimethylaniline (Example X) and 107 mg (1.06 mmol) of triethylamine are introduced into ml of dichloromethane and, at 0° C., 177 mg (1.29 mmol) of ethoxalyl chloride are added dropwise. The mixture is stirred for 4 h. It is shaken with NaHCO3 solution and NaCl solution, and the organic phase is dried and concentrated in a rotary evaporator. Purification by chromatography (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate=7:1) affords 231 mg of ethyl ({4-[3-(4-fluorobenzyl)-4-methoxybenzyl]-3,5-dimethylphenyl}amino)(oxo)-acetate.
