Acetic Acid → {2-(4-Cyanophenylimino)-2-[2-fluoro-3-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-5-methoxyphenyl]-1-methylsulfanylethylidene}carbamic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

After adding 0.09 ml of acetic acid and 1.3 ml of TBAF (1.0 M, THF solution) to a solution of 616 mg of (2-{3-[2-(t-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)ethoxy]-2-fluoro-5-methoxyphenyl}-2-(4-cyanophenylimino)-1-methylsulfanylethylidene)carbamic acid methyl ester (Example (181a)) in 5 ml of THF, the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. Saturated aqueous ammonium chloride was added to the reaction mixture, and extraction was performed with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The desiccating agent was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (heptane-ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (394 mg, isomeric mixture) as a light yellow solid.
