Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3-[(dipropylamino)carbonyl]-5-(3-thienyl)benzoate (XLIX, step 3, 0.31 g, 0.88 mmol) in THF/methanol/sodium hydroxide (3/1/1, 5 mL) is stirred at 40 degrees C. for 2 hours. The reaction is cooled to 20-25 degrees C., diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase is acidified to pH=4 and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed with water and saline, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 3-[(dipropylamino)carbonyl]-5-(3-thienyl)benzoic acid (IX-L), ESI-MS (m/z) [M+H]+=332.
