Thionyl Chloride → HCID 12109171, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (5 ml) and dimethylformamide (1 drop) were added to a solution of (R)-4-(1-benzyloxycarbonylaminoethyl)-3-nitrobenzoic acid (1 g) in dichloromethane (5 ml), and the mixture was refluxed for 3 hours. After the reaction, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give (R)-4-(1-benzyloxycarbonylaminoethyl)-3-nitrobenzoyl chloride as crystals. Then, the crystals were dissolved in dichloromethane (14 ml). The solution was dropwise added to a solution of 4-aminopyridine (250 mg) and diisopropylethylamine (375 mg) in dichloromethane (6 ml) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. After the reaction, water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The extract was dried and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform:methanol=15:1) to give 940 mg of (R)-N-(4-pyridyl)-4-(1-benzyloxycarbonylaminoethyl)-3-nitrobenzamide.
