Sodium Hydroxide → ethyl 1-[(R)-2-amino-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)propionyl]-4-cyclohexylpiperidine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

300 mg (0.54 mmol) of ethyl 1-[(R)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)propionyl]-4-cyclohexylpiperidine-4-carboxylate are diluted in 5 ml of a 4/1 dichloromethane/trifluoroacetic acid solution. After stirring for 2 hours, the mixture is poured into aqueous 1N sodium hydroxide solution and then extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. 210 mg of ethyl 1-[(R)-2-amino-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)propionyl]-4-cyclohexylpiperidine-4-carboxylate in the form of a white powder are obtained in a yield of 86%.
