Reaction Steps

Lithium hydroxide (17.25 mg, 0.72 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of phenylmethyl 5-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-2-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]benzoate (may be prepared as described in Description 39; 100 mg, 0.24 mmol) in a mixture of THF:water (3:1, 10 ml). The mixture was heated to reflux for 12 h and then diluted with ethyl acetate (50 ml). 10% aqueous HCl was added to the mixture to adjust the pH to 2. The organic phase was isolated, washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulphate, and concentrated to give a white solid. The product was purified using Comflash to yield the title compound. 50 mg.
