Participants

Reaction Steps

Stir a solution of diethyl 1,3,5-benzene tricarboxylate (2.47 g, 9.28 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (1.38 g, 10.2 mmol), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCl) (1.96 g, 10.2 mmol), N-methylpropylamine (1.04 mL, 10.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (50 mL) at room temperature overnight. Dilute with dichloromethane (300 mL) and extract the solution with 0.1 N citric acid (2×50 mL), saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (50 mL), and saturated aqueous sodium chloride (50 mL). Dry (magnesium sulfate), concentrate and purify (silica gel chromatography, eluting with 50:50 ethyl acetate:hexanes) to give the title compound (2.02 g, 68%).
