Phenylacetyl isocyanate → 2-{[4-(Azetidin-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl]carbonylamino}-4-{4-[3-(2-phenylacetyl)ureido]phenoxy}pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(4-aminophenoxy)-2-{[4-(azetidin-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl]carbonylamino}pyridine (62.8 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (4.0 ml) was added a solution of 2-phenylacetyl isocyanate in hexane (0.25 M, 1.71 ml) at room temperature, followed by stirring overnight. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to give a residue, which was then purified by silica gel column chromatography (Fuji Silysia NH, eluent; ethyl acetate, then ethyl acetate:methanol=98:2) to provide the titled compound (50.0 mg, 55%) as white powder.
