Hydrochloric Acid → (2R,4R)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(3-(4-cyanophenyl)ureido)piperidine-2-carboxylic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

LiOH (143 mg, 5.96 mmol) was added to a solution of (2R,4R)-1-tert-butyl 2-methyl 4-(3-(4-cyanophenyl)ureido)piperidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (1200 mg, 2.98 mmol) in THF/MeOH/water (3:2:1) (24 mL) and the resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. 1M HCl solution was added to reaction solution to adjust the pH to about 3, the mixture was then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×150 mL), and the combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give the acid as a white solid 1150 mg (99%). LC-MS: 389.2, 387.3 (t=2.1 min).
