Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 17859101, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To methyl (7-fluoro-2-(1-isoquinolinyl)-6-benzoxazolyl)acetate (155 mg, 0.46 mmol) were added THF (3 ml) and 0.5N NaOH (3.0 ml, 1.50 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured in ice-1N HCl to acidify the mixture therewith. The crystals thus precipitated were collected by filtration under reduced pressure, washed with water and dried under reduced pressure to give (7-fluoro-2-(1-isoquinolinyl)-6-benzoxazolyl)acetic acid (116 mg, 78%) as a brown solid.
