Reaction Steps

N-(2,4-Difluorobenzyl)-N-heptylamine (106 mg, 0.44 mmol) was added into (4-{[2-(methoxycarbonyl)benzyl]oxy}phenyl)acetic acid (120 mg, 0.4 mmol) in DCM (10 ml) and followed by EDC (84.3 mg, 0.44 mmol) and then DMAP (54 mg, 0.44 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, and then washed with 1% hydrochloric acid, water and brine and dried with magnesium sulphate and evaporated. Chromatography of the residue on a column (ISOLUTE®SI, 5 g/15 ml) using DCM and MeOH/DCM (0.5:99.5) as eluant gave 155 mg desired product, yield 74%.
