Sodium Hydroxide → N-[[2-[[(4-Cyanophenyl)amino]methyl]-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-5-yl]carbonyl]-N-2-pyridinyl-beta-alanine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of sodium hydroxide (50.0 mmol) in 500 mL ethanol and 50 mL water was added 3-({2-[(4-Cyano-phenylamino)-methyl]-1-methyl-1H-benzoimidazole-5-carbonyl}-pyridin-2-yl-amino)-propionic acid ethyl ester (41.4 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for three hours, then ca. 350 mL ethanol were distilled off, ca. 100 mL water was added and the pH was adjusted to 6. Then diethylether (50 mL) was added and the mixture stirred over night. The product was isolated by filtration and used without further purification.
