Reaction Steps

Methyl 2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)aminomethyl)benzoate (600 mg, 1.99 mmol, 1 eq) was dissolved in 5 mL of THF at 25° C. 1 N NaOH (5.96 mL, 5.96 mmol, 3 eq) was added and the reaction stirred for 20 hours. After this time, 1.0 N HCl (5.86 mL) was added and the product was extracted 3 times with chloroform. The organic extracts were combined, dried over sodium sulfate and stripped to give 2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)aminomethyl)benzoic acid (560 mg, 98% yield). MS (M+H—BOC)+ found: 152.3.
