Sodium Hydroxide → Rac.-(z)-2-[[2-chloro-4-[1-hydroxy-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-yl]benzoyl]amino]-3-(quinolin-3-yl)propenoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

An aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (1N; 0.5 mL, 0.5 mmol) was added to a solution of rac.-(Z)-2-[[2-chloro-4-[1-hydroxy-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-yl]benzoyl]amino]-3-(quinolin-3-yl)propenoic acid methyl ester (Example 228; 82 mg, 0.16 mmol) in methanol/tetrahydrofuran (1:1; 2 mL). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 16 h and the solvent was evaporated. Water (3 mL) was added and the mixture was acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid solution (0.25 mL). The precipitated solids were recovered by filtration, washed with water, dried and crystallized from tetrahydrofuran/methanol/water to give rac.-(Z)-2-[[2-chloro-4-[1-hydroxy-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-yl]benzoyl]amino]-3-(quinolin-3-yl)propenoic acid (53 mg, 66% yield) as a colorless solid.
