Glycine → {[1-Cyano-4-hydroxy-7-(4-methoxy-phenoxy)-isoquinoline-3-carbonyl]-amino}-acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-cyano-4-hydroxy-7-(4-methoxy-phenoxy)-isoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid butyl ester (110 mg, 0.28 mmol) and glycine (275 mg, 2.82 mmol) in a solution of sodium methoxide (0.5 M in methanol; 5.7 mL) was refluxed overnight. Reaction mixture was concentrated and dissolved in water (50 mL). It was washed with ethyl acetate (10 mL). Aqueous layer was acidified by 1 N HCl to pH=3-4 and extracted with ethyl acetate. Organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. Crude product was triturated with methanol (3 mL) and solid was collected and dried to give the title compound (72 mg). MS-(+)-ion: M+1=394.32.
