Potassium Hydroxide → (R)-3-(7-chloro-1-oxoisoindolin-2-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

KOH (1 mol/l aq) (2 eq) was added to a suspension of (R)-methyl 3-(7-chloro-1-oxoisoindolin-2-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxylate (D-01) (0.42 mmol, 1 eq) in a mixture of ethanol (4 ml) and water (1.6 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at RT. Ethanol was removed in vacuo, and the residue was taken up in diethyl ether and water. The phases were separated, and the aqueous phase was adjusted to pH 3 with 1N HCl. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×) and the combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate. After concentration, the desired product (R)-3-(7-chloro-1-oxoisoindolin-2-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxylic acid (G-01) was obtained. Yield: 82%
