Tetrahydrofuran → 2-(N'-(4-chlorophenyl)ureido)-3-phenylpropanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 2-(N′-(4-chlorophenyl)ureido)-3-phenylpropanoate (2.8 g) obtained in Example 1a) and 1 N sodium hydroxide (20 ml) in methanol (20 ml)-THF (10 ml) was mixed at room temperature for 15 hours, and the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The solution was acidified by adding 1 N hydrochloric acid to the concentrated solution, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound as colorless powder (2.6 g, 95%).
