Sodium Hydroxide → 6-Cyano-7-(4-(4-((dimethylamino)methyl)phenethylcarbamoyl)phenoxy)chroman-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl 6-cyano-7-(4-(4-((dimethylamino)methyl)phenethylcarbamoyl)phenoxy)chroman-4-carboxylate (83 mg, 0.16 mmol) in methanol (1 mL) at ambient temperature was added a 2M solution of sodium hydroxide (0.40 mL, 0.80 mmol). After stirring at ambient temperature for 1 hour the solution was concentrated, and the residual solid was redissolved in water (5 mL). The pH was adjusted to 4.5 to precipitate the product, and chloroform (5 mL) was added. After stirring the multiphase mixture for a few minutes, the product separated as a thick oil on the side of the flask. The chloroform/water mixture was decanted away and the residue dried under vacuum to afford 6-cyano-7-(4-(4-((dimethylamino)methyl)phenethylcarbamoyl)phenoxy)chroman-4-carboxylic acid as a light yellow glass (23 mg, 28% yield). MS (apci) m/z=500.1 (M+H).
