Reaction Steps

Into a 1000-mL round bottom flask, was placed a solution of 3-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid (20 g, 111.11 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in N,N-dimethylformamide (500 mL), HATU (63.2 g, 166.32 mmol, 1.50 equiv), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (21.5 g, 166.67 mmol, 1.50 equiv), 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol (23.3 g, 221.90 mmol, 2.00 equiv). The resulting solution was stirred for overnight at 25° C. The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum. The resulting solution was dissolved in 200 mL of ethyl acetate. The resulting mixture was washed with 10×200 mL of brine. The mixture was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was applied onto a silica gel column with dichloromethane:methanol (100:1). This resulted in 15 g (51%) of methyl 3-((2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl)carbamoyl)benzoate as red oil.
