Triethylamine → (2-{[3-(1,3-Dioxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-3-methyl-butyrylamino]-methyl}-pyridin-3-yloxy)-acetic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-aminomethyl-3-(ethoxycarbonylmethoxy)pyridine dihydrochloride (610 mg, 2.155 mmol), triethylamine (732 μl, 5.258 mmol), N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (596 mg, 2.892 mmol) and 4-(N,N-diemethylamino)-pyridine (10 mg) in 6 ml of dry methylene chloride is added β,β-dimethyl-1,3-dioxo-2-isoindolinepropionic acid (650 mg, 2.629 mmol) at ambient temperature. The mixture is stirred for 24 hours. The precipitate of dicyclohexyl urea is filtered off. The filtrate is evaporated and the residue is purified via flash chromatography on silica gel using a methylene chloride/methylene chloride-ethanolic ammonia gradient (100 to 97:3) to give 591 mg of (2-{[3-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-3-methyl-butyrylamino]-methyl}-pyridin-3-yloxy)-acetic acid ethyl ester (46%).
