Reaction Steps

5.0 g (33 mmol) 4-methoxybenzoic acid were dissolved in 50 ml DMF. 12.8 g (66 mmol) EDCI, 9.2 g (66 mmol) HOBt and 14.8 ml (132 mmol) 4-methylmorpholine were added and the mixture was stirred for 15 min. Subsequently, 3.9 g (33 mmol) 3-aminobenzonitrile were added and the mixture was stirred for 48 h at room temperature and 6 h at 80° C. The reaction mixture was poured in 500 ml water and the precipitate was filtered, washed and dried.
