Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 53693000, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.8 g of (S)-2-(butoxycarbonyl-amino)-3-methyl-butyric acid N-[2-{3-methoxy-4-(3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-propyn-1-yloxy)-phenyl}-ethyl]-amide and 5 g of concentrated hydrochloric acid are stirred for 10 minutes in a mixture of 20 ml of diethyl ether and 20 ml of dichloromethane at 0° C. Stirring is continued overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture is introduced into 100 ml of 2N hydrochloric acid and extraction is carried out twice using 150 ml of diethyl ether each time. The aqueous phase is adjusted to pH 11 with 5M sodium hydroxide. Extraction is then carried out twice using 150 ml of ethyl acetate each time. The organic phases are washed twice with 50 ml of saturated sodium chloride solution each time, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated, yielding (S)-2-amino-3-methyl-butyric acid N-[2-{3-methoxy-4-(3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-propyn-1-yloxy)-phenyl}-ethyl]-amide, which is recrystallised from ethyl acetate/n-hexane, m.p. 115-117° C.
