Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-(4-(quinolin-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl)acetic acid (5.0 g, 0.017 mol) in DCM (50 mL) were added DIPEA (6.6 g, 0.05 mol), HOBT (3.4 g, 0.02 mol) and EDC (4.9 g, 0.02 mol) at RT under an inert atmosphere. After 10 minutes, 2-amino-2-methylpropanoate (3.9 g, 0.02 mol) was added to the reaction mixture and stirring was continued for 4 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with DCM (2×200 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, and then dried over Na2SO4. Evaporation of organic solvents in vacuo afforded methyl 2-methyl-2-(2-(4-(quinolin-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl)acetamido)propanoate (5.0 g, 74%) as a white solid.
