Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

(4-Methylamino-3-nitro-benzoylamino)-acetic acid tert-butyl ester (1.2 g) was prepared starting from 4-methylamino-3-nitro-benzoyl chloride (1 g), amino-acetic acid tert-butyl ester (721 mg), triethylamine (1.4 mL) in DCM (10 mL). The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h. The reaction was added to DCM (50 mL) and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (50 mL). The phases were separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted twice with DCM. The combined organics were dried over sodium sulfate and then filtered. The solvent was evaporated and crude compound was purified by flash chromatography using DCM:methanol gradient.
