Sodium Hydroxide → 4-(N-Boc-N-2-picolylaminomethyl)phenylacetic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound obtained in Example 8-3 (83.2 mg) was dissolved in THF (0.8 ml) and methanol (0.8 ml). After the addition of 1 N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (0.8 ml), the mixture was stirred for 35 minutes at room temperature. After the reaction, the solvent was removed by distillation and the residue was dissolved in distilled water. Aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (1 mol/l) was added to the solution to adjust the pH to 3-4. The settled-down oily product was extracted with chloroform, washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation and the residue was dried under vacuum to obtain the title compound (78.7 mg) as colorless oil.
