Trifluoroacetic acid → 2-(6-Chloro-2-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzimidazol-1-yl)-3-phenylpropionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

950 mg (2.01 mmol) of tert-butyl 3-(1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2-phenylethyl)-5-chloro-2-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzimidazole-1-carboxylate (VIIh) were dissolved in dichloromethane (10 ml) and, while stirring at room temperature, trifluoroacetic acid (10 ml) was added. The reaction solution was stirred for 2 h and then the solvent and excess trifluoroacetic acid were removed in vacuo. The residue was taken up again in toluene, concentrated in vacuo and then dried in vacuo. Yield: 609 mg (96%) of white solid
