Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → HCID 9850300, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-[2-chloro-4-[[[(3-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]amino]carbonyl]-6-methylbenzoyl]-3-(3,5-dihydroxybenzoylamino)-L-alanine, methyl ester (790 mg, 0.87 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran/methanol (1:1; 8 mL) was added to a solution of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (183 mg, 4.4 mmol) in water (4 mL). The solution was stirred at room temperature overnight and then the solvents were evaporated. Water (15 mL) was added and the solution was acidified with 3 M HCl. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL) and the combined extracts were washed with brine and evaporated. The residue was dissolved in methanol (14 mL) and purified in two portions by HPLC to give N-[2-chloro-4-[[[(3-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]amino]carbonyl]-6-methylbenzoyl]-3-(3,5-dihydroxybenzoylamino)-L-alanine (65 mg, 14%).
