Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → HCID 67444533, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium hydroxide hydrate (0.00093 mol) was added to a solution of 3-{[2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-6-methyl-pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-3H-benzoimidazol-5-ylmethyl]-m-tolylamino}-propionic acid ethyl ester (0.000464 mol) in a mixture of water (10 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (10 ml). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The tetrahydrofuran was removed under reduced pressure and the solution was acidified to pH 4 with a 1N solution of HCl in water. The precipitate was filtered off, rinsed with water, then with diethyl ether and dried, yielding 0.157 g of 3-{[2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-6-methyl-pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-3H-benzoimidazol-5-ylmethyl]-m-tolyl-amino}-propionic acid (76%, compound 161, melting point 165° C.).
