Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → 2-(4-((N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)sulfamoylamino)methyl)phenyl)propanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (826 mg, 19.68 mmol) in water (10 mL) was added to a solution of ethyl 2-(4-((N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)sulfamoylamino)methyl)phenyl)propanoate (3.8 g, 9.84 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) at 0° C. and stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The volatiles were evaporated; the residue diluted with water (50 mL) and extracted with diethyl ether (2×20 mL). The aqueous layer was acidified (pH ˜5) with acetic acid at 0° C., precipitated solid was filtered and dried under reduced pressure to afford 2-(4-((N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)sulfamoylamino)methyl)phenyl)propanoic acid (2.3 g, 56%) as white solid.
