Lithium Hydroxide → 2-(3,6-dibromo-9H-carbazol-9-yl)acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the product of Step 1 (41.1 mg, 0.1 mmol, 1 equiv) in THF-methanol-water (3:2:1, total 1.2 mL) was added LiOH (12.0 mg, 0.5 mmol, 5 equiv). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction was diluted with 1M HCl (10 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (10 mL). The organic layer was washed with water (10 mL) twice and dried with MgSO4 to afford 38.3 mg white solid as product, yield 99%. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ=5.02 (s, 2H) 7.22 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H) 7.58 (dd, J=8.7, 1.2 Hz, 2H) 8.16 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 2H). ESI (m/z): 379.6 (M−H+).
