Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Benzyl-2-{[methoxycarbonylmethyl-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-amino]-methyl}-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2 g, 4.02 mmol) was dissolved in 60 mL of MeOH. NaOMe solution (3 mL, 12.5 mmol, 25 wt % in MeOH) was added and the mixture was stirred for 16 h. Saturated NH4Cl (100 mL) was added, followed by addition of 1M HCl until pH about 2. The resulting mixture was extracted several times with CH2Cl2. The organic layers were combined, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-60% EtOAc/hexanes+2% AcOH) to give 1.04 g of the title compound as a white solid. MS: (+) m/z 311.05 (M+1).
