Hydrochloric Acid → [(Biphenyl-4-carbonyl)-methyl-amino]-acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

LiOH (293 mg, 6.9 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of [(biphenyl-4-carbonyl)-methyl-amino]-acetic acid methyl ester (330 mg, 1.1 mmol) in THF:MeOH:H2O (2:2:1, 10 mL), and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hrs. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to get the residue. Cold water was then added and acidified it with 10% aqueous HCl, filtered the solid precipitated to afford 250 mg (79.7% yield) of [(biphenyl-4-carbonyl)-methyl-amino]-acetic acid.
