Lithium Hydroxide → [7-(4-t-Butoxycarbonylpiperazin-1-yl)-3,4-dihydro-1(1H)-isoquinolinone-2-yl]acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl [7-(4-t-butoxycarbonylpiperazin-1-yl)-3,4-dihydro-1(1H)-isoquinolinone-2-yl]acetate (1-4) (2.9 g, 6.95 mmol), 1N LiOH (20.9 mL, 20.9 mmol) and MeOH (50 mL) were stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. The solvent was removed, the residue was taken up in EtOAc and washed with 1N HCl. Repeated extraction of the aqueous phase followed by washing of the bulked organic layers with brine (5 mL), drying (MgSO4) and evaporation afforded 1-5 as a solid. 1H NMR (CD3OD): d1.48 (9H, s), 2.99 (2H, t), 3.20 (4H, m), 3.62 (6H, m), 4.31 (2H, s), 7.22 (2H, s), 7.60 (1H, s).
