Hydrochloric Acid → (E)-3-(4-butoxy-3-[[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]methyl]-2-isobutyl-1-oxo-1,2-dihydro-6-isoquinolinyl)-2-propenic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl (E)-3-(4-butoxy-3-[[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]methyl]-2-isobutyl-1-oxo-1,2-dihydro-6-isoquinolinyl)-2-propenate (1.00 g, 2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) and ethanol (10 mL) was added 1N sodium hydroxide (4 mL). The obtained mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was poured into water, acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained crystals were recrystallized from ethyl acetate-diisopropyl ether to give (E)-3-(4-butoxy-3-[[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]methyl]-2-isobutyl-1-oxo-1,2-dihydro-6-isoquinolinyl)-2-propenic acid (0.89 g, 94.7%) as crystals.
