1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → HCID 18945197, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-methoxycarbonyl-5-(pyrrol-1-yl)-benzoic acid (3.0 g), 4-hydroxypiperidine (1.23 g) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (1.81 g) in dichloromethane (100 ml) was added 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (2.57 g) under ice cooling, and the solution was stirred for 30 hours at room temperature. After evaporating the solvent, the residue was dissolved in a mixture of ethyl acetate and a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution under stirring. The organic layer was successively washed with water and brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a mixture of chloroform and methanol (50:1). The fractions containing the desired product were collected and evaporated in vacuo to afford methyl 3-[(4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl)carbonyl]-5-(pyrrol-1-yl)benzoate (3.56 g).
