Reaction Steps

Stir a solution of 5-hydroxymethyl-isophthalic acid monoethyl ester (1.9 g, 8.4 mmol), N-methylpropylamine (947 μl, 9.2 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (1.24 g, 9.2 mmol), and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (1.77 g, 9.2 mmol) in a mixture of dichloromethane (12 mL) and DMF (12 mL) at room temperature for 1.5 h. Concentrate and purify (silica gel chromatography, eluting with 50:50 ethyl acetate:hexanes) to give the title compound (950 mg, 40% yield).
