Reaction Steps

5-(3,3-Dimethyl-but-1-ynyl)-3-[[2-(ethoxy-methyl-phosphinoyl)-ethyl]-(4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (251 mg, 0.51 mmol) was dissolved in THF (7.3 mL) and MeOH (7.3 mL). A 1N solution of LiOH in H2O (1.52 mL, 1.52 mmol) was added to the reaction drop-wise at room temperature. The reaction was run at room temperature until complete, as determined by LC/MS. The reaction was cooled in an ice bath and then acidified to pH 3 with 1N HCl. The entire mixture was then evaporated in vacuo and stored under high vacuum overnight. 5-(3,3-Dimethyl-but-1-ynyl)-3-[[2-(ethoxy-methyl-phosphinoyl)-ethyl]-(4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (168 mg, 69%) was isolated from the residue by reverse phase HPLC. MS (m/z): 481.93 [M+H]+; 31P NMR (161.9 MHz, CDCl3): d 56.771, 55.816.
