Trifluoroacetic acid → 2-(4-(2-(4-methoxyphenyl)acetamido)-N-(4-((4-(octyloxy)benzoyl)oxy)benzyl)benzamido)acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Prepared using General Procedures 2 and 8: To a stirring solution of 4-(octyloxy)benzoic acid (30 mg, 0.119 mmol) in DCM (0.5 mL) were added DMF (1 drop) and oxalyl chloride (0.011 mL, 0.127 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. To this mixture was added a solution of tert-butyl 2-(N-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-4-(2-(4-methoxyphenyl)acetamido)benzamido)acetate INT-7 (40 mg, 0.079 mmol) and TEA (0.022 mL, 0.159 mmol) in DCM (1 mL). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 h then TFA (1 mL) was added. After stirring for 2 h, the solvent was concentrated and the product was purified by preparative HPLC to afford 7.6 mg (14%) of 2-(4-(2-(4-methoxyphenyl)acetamido)-N-(4-((4-(octyloxy)benzoyl)oxy)benzyl)benzamido)acetic acid 17. LCMS-ESI (m/z) calculated for C40H44N2O8: 680; found 679 [M−H]−, tR=9.96 min (Method 4).
