1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → Cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylic acid (4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-amide (4-fluoro-phenyl)-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. suspension of 4-benzyloxyaniline hydrochloride (47.0 g, 200 mmol) and 1-(4-fluoro-phenylcarbamoyl)-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (49.1 g, 220 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (400 mL) was added EDCI (38.2 g, 200 mmol). Stirring was continued at rt for 2-4 h until the reaction was complete. CH2Cl2 was removed under reduced pressure. H2O (300 mL) and MeOH (200 mL) were added, and the resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 30 min. After filtration and wash with H2O, the solid was transferred to another flask containing 300 mL of sat. aqueous NaHCO3 solution. The mixture was stirred for another 30 min. The solid was filtered, washed with water, and dried over night on a lyophilizer, affording cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylic acid (4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-amide(4-fluoro-phenyl)-amide (75.8 g, 95% yield) as an off-white solid.
