Lithium Hydroxide → HCID 67682372, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

10 ml of water and 0.24 g of lithium hydroxide are added to a solution of 2.05 g of 3-{N-[1(S)-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]amino}-2(S)-hydroxy-propyl(benzyl)-phosphinic acid ethyl ester in 4 ml of water and the mixture is heated at reflux overnight. The then clear solution is cooled to room temperature, adjusted to pH 7 with phsophoric acid and concentrated to dryness by evaporation under reduced pressure. The evaporation residue is made into a slurry in hot methanol and filtered. After concentration of the filtrate by evaporation there remains a foam which, after crystallisation from isopropanol, yields 3-{N-[1(S)-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]amino}-2(S)-hydroxypropyl-(benzyl)-phosphinic acid having a melting point of 204°-206°, [α]20D =-35.2°±1.2° (c=0.812 in methanol).
