Reaction Steps

To (2S,3R)-3-(n-butyl)-2-hydroxysuccinic dimethyl ester B-3 in MeOH (28 mL) is added a solution of NaOH (2.2 g, 55 mmol) in water (28 mL). After 24 hours, the MeOH is removed, the crude reaction is acidified with HCl (6 N, 12 mL) to pH=1, and then extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers are dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to give (2S,3R)-3-(n-butyl)-2-hydroxysuccinic acid B-4.
