Methanol → (5-Chloro-2-{2-[4-(4-fluoro-benzyl)-(2R,5S)-2,5-dimethyl-piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxo-ethoxy}-pyridin-3-ylamino)-acetic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (5-chloro-2-{2-[4-(4-fluoro-benzyl)-(2R,5S)-2,5-dimethyl-piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxo-ethoxy}-pyridin-3-ylamino)-acetic acid ethyl ester (0.080, 0.16 mmol) in 2:2:1 methanol:tetrahydrofuran:water (1.5 mL) was added lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.015 g, 0.36 mmol). The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hours. The pH of the solution was adjusted to ˜4 by the addition of 0.2 M hydrochlroric acid, then diluted with brine and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The product was purified by anion exchange chromatography to give the title compound as its acetic acid addition salt (0.058 g, LRMS: 465.1, 467.2).
