Triethylamine → 3-(5-Chloro-pyridin-2-yl)-5-isobutyrylamino-benzoic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Amino-5-(5-chloro-pyridin-2-yl)-benzoic acid methyl ester (1.5 g, 5.71 mmol, from Preparation 2) and Et3N (2.39 mL, 17.13 mmol) were dissolved in 30 mL methylene chloride, and isobutyryl chloride (72 mL, 6.85 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for two hours, and then was partitioned between water and methylene chloride. The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1.29 g of 3-(5-chloro-pyridin-2-yl)-5-isobutyrylamino-benzoic acid methyl ester, MS (M+H)=333.
