Lithium Hydroxide → 4-(4-(Tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperazin-1-yl)-3-fluorobenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tert-butyl 4-(2-fluoro-4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (4.6 g, 13.59 mmol) was suspended in 1,4-Dioxane (Volume: 68.0 ml) and treated with 1N LiOH (68.0 ml, 68.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 23 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo until most of the dioxane was gone and acidified with HCl (4.5 N) until a thick precipitate resulted. It was filtered off, washed with water and dried in vacuum to afford 4-(4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperazin-1-yl)-3-fluorobenzoic acid (4.40 g, 13.57 mmol, 100% yield) as a brown solid. ESI-MS: m/z 325 (M+H)+.
