Citric Acid → HCID 54120951, compound

To a stirred solution of methyl 2-methoxy-4-(1-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-3-azetidinyloxy)benzoate from Step 4 above (200 mg, 0.647 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) was added 2N NaOH (5 mL, 10 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 30 minutes, then cooled in a ice water bath. The solution was acidified with 5% citric acid then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with water (2×25 mL). The aqueous layer was made alkaline (pH=9) with DIEA, cooled, then di-tertbutyldicarbonate (275 mg, 1.26 mmol) was added to the stirring solution. After 4 hours, the aqueous solution was extracted with diethyl ether (50 mL), and then made acidic by addition of 1N HCl (25 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with methylene chloride (3×25 mL) and the organic layers were collected, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. 2-Methoxy-4-(1-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-3-azetidinyloxy)benzoic acid was obtained as a white solid which was used without further purification.
