Lithium Hydroxide → 3,5-Bis(methyl-propylcarbamoyl)-benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Stir a solution of 3,5-bis(methyl-propylcarbamoyl)-benzoic acid ethyl ester (157 mg, 0.45 mmol), 1 N lithium hydroxide (2.25 mL, 2.25 mmol) and THF (2.25 mL) for 2 h at room temperature. Dilute the reaction with water (10 mL) and extract with dichloromethane (10 mL). Acidify the aqueous with 5 N HCl, extract the aqueous with dichloromethane, dry (magnesium sulfate) and concentrate to give the title compound (119 mg, 82%).
