A soln of LiOH (Aldrich) (940 mg, 22 mmol) in H2O (20 mL), was added and the reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for 12 h. After cooling to RT, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and diluted with EtOAc (100 mL). A 10% soln of citric acid (25 mL) was added, the organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×25 mL). The organic layers were combined, washed with H2O, satd NaCl, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford 2-[4-benzylpiperazinyl]benzoic acid as a white solid (2.05 g). MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 297 (M+H). Calc'd for C18H20N2O2: 296.15: 296.15.
