Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture solution of 2-(4′-tert-butylcarbamoyl-biphenyl-3-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (968 mg, 2 mmol) in methanol (15.0 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (16.0 mL) was added 50% sodium hydroxide in water (2.0 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 6 hours. The mixture was neutralized with a 3 N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL), washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated in vacuo. Purification by Waters automated flash system (column: Xterra 30 mm×100 mm, sample manager 2767, pump 2525, detector: ZQ mass and UV 2487, solvent system: acetonitrile and 0.1% ammonium hydroxide in water) afforded 2-(4′-tert-butylcarbamoyl-biphenyl-3-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-6-carboxylic acid (820 mg, 90%) as a white solid: LC/MS m/e calcd for C29H32N2O3 (M+H)+: 457.56, observed: 457.1.
