Reaction Steps

Prepared using General Procedure 9: To a stirring solution of 4-((N-(2-(tert-butoxy)-2-oxoethyl)-4-(2-(4-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetamido)benzamido)methyl)phenyl 4-(heptyloxy)benzoate INT-6 (2.53 g, 3.20 mmol) in THF (10 mL) and MeOH (50 mL) was added 2N NaOH (3.2 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. The reaction mixture was acidified with AcOH. The crude mixture was concentrated then diluted with DCM (150 mL) and washed with brine (200 mL). The organic layer was concentrated and purified by chromatography (EA/hexanes) to afford 1.64 g (88%) of tert-butyl 2-(N-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-4-(2-(4-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetamido)benzamido)acetate INT-9. LCMS-ESI (m/z) calculated for C30H31F3N2O6: 572; found 571 [M−H]−, tR=2.30 min. (Method 3).
