Lithium Hydroxide → {Tert-butyl-[3-(4',5'-difluoro-2'-methoxy-biphenyl-4-yloxymethyl)-benzoyl]-amino}-acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of {[3-(4′,5′-difluoro-2′-methoxy-biphenyl-4-yloxymethyl)-benzoyl]-tert-butyl-amino}-acetic acid ethyl ester (11.6 g, 23.3 mmol) in THF (500 mL) was treated with a solution LiOH (2.8 g, 116.7 mmol) in water (500 mL) at room temperature for 12 h. THF was then removed by evaporation. The mixture was then poured into ice and carefully acidified with dilute HCl to pH-1. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried in vacuum to afford {tert-butyl-[3-(4′,5′-difluoro-2′-methoxy-biphenyl-4-yloxymethyl)-benzoyl]-amino}-acetic acid as a white solid, 10.6 g (94%). LC-MS (ES) calculated for C27H27F2NO5, 483; found m/z 484 [M+H]+.
