Lithium Hydroxide → HCID 15276496, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under ice cooling, a solution of 31 mg of lithium hydroxide dissolved in 5 ml of water was added dropwise to a solution of 402 mg of methyl (4S,5R)-3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2,2-dimethyl-4-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-5-oxazolidinecarboxylate dissolved in 10 ml of methanol. After the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 45 minutes, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Water and diethyl ether were added to the residue, and the aqueous layer was collected by separation. The aqueous layer was adjusted to about pH 2 by adding 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid thereto under ice cooling and then extracted with chloroform. After the chloroform layer was washed with water and dried, the solvent was removed to obtain 385 mg of (4S,5R)-3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2,2-dimethyl-4-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-5-oxazolidinecarboxylic acid.
