1-Hydroxybenzotriazole → N'-[2-(3,4-Difluoro-5-methoxyphenyl)acetyl]-4-benzyloxy-2-ethyl-3-methylbenzohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

340 mg of 2-(3,4-difluoro-5-methoxyphenyl)acetic acid (B2) are dissolved in 7.0 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide under a dry argon atmosphere. 484.3 mg of N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, 130.2 mg of N-hydroxybenzotriazole and 526.0 mg of 4-benzyloxy-2-ethyl-3-methylbenzohydrazide (B1) are subsequently added. The reaction solution is stirred at room temperature for 18 h overnight. When the reaction is complete (TLC check), 100 ml of water are added, and the mixture is stirred for 30 min and subsequently extracted three times with 75 ml of ethyl acetate each time. The combined organic phases are dried over Na2SO4, filtered off with suction, and the filtrate obtained is evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue is purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (solvent gradient: dichloromethane/0-20% by vol. of ethanol), giving 321 mg of the title compound as a colourless oil; MS: 937.3 (2M+H+); TLC: Rf=0.50 (dichloromethane/methanol 95:5 parts by volume).
