Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To the solution of 282c (16.0 g, 71.0 mmol) in propan-2-ol (200 mL), tetrahydrofuran (200 mL), and water (200 mL) was added lithium hydroxide (6.82 g, 284 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 65° C. for 5 h. The organic solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The pH of the residue was adjusted to 1.0 with hydrochloride acid (12M). The precipitate was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo to afford 282d (12.0 g, 86%) as white solid. MS-ESI: [M+H]+ 196.9
