1-Hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate → 2-(3-Fluoro-phenoxy)-N-[4-(1-hydroxy-1-methyl-ethyl)-benzyl]-nicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution 2-(3-Fluoro-phenoxy)-nicotinic acid (0.250 g, 1.07 mmole), 2-(4-Aminomethyl-phenyl)-propan-2-ol (0.195 grams, 1.18 mmole) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (0.173 grams, 1.28 mmole) in dry dimethylformamide (15 ml) was added 1-(3-dimethylamino)-propyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (0.173 grams, 1.28 mmole) and stirred over night. The mixture was diluted with 300 ml water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organics were washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give an oil that was purified by chromatography on silica. Recrystalization from ethyl acetate/hexane gave a solid (0.400 g). M.P. 106-108° C.; Anal. calcd. for C22H21N2O3F: C, 69.46; H, 5.56; N, 7.36. Found: C, 69.05; H, 5.68; N, 7.25.
