Hydrochloric Acid → (S)-4-(2-(4-(tert-butyl)benzamido)-3-methoxy-3-oxopropyl)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Prepared using General Procedure 4: To a stirred solution of (S)-methyl 4-(2-(4-(tert-butyl)benzamido)-3-methoxy-3-oxopropyl)benzoate (316.6 mg, 0.79 mmol) in dioxane (15 mL) and water (1 mL) at 0° C. was added lithium hydroxide monohydrate (93.52 mg, 2.23 mmol). After 2 h, the solution was neutralized with 1 M HCl to pH 7.0. The mixture was partitioned between DCM (15 mL) and saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (10 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (3×10 mL) and brine (10 mL). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to afford 208 mg (69%) of (S)-4-(2-(4-(tert-butyl)benzamido)-3-methoxy-3-oxopropyl)benzoic acid, INT-1. LCMS-ESI (m/z) calculated for C22H25NO5: 383.2. found 384.1 [M+H]+, tR=2.13 min.
