Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(Methoxycarbonyl)-alpha-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 0.55 g (2.2 mmol) of methyl 1-(2-tert-butoxy-1-methyl-2-oxoethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate from step A in 3 mL of anhydrous 1,4-dioxane was added 2.7 mL (11 mmol) of a 4.0 M hydrogen chloride solution in 1,4-dioxane. The resulting mixture was stirred for 1 h and then evaporated to dryness to afford the title compound as an off-white solid (0.40 g, 93%). 1HNMR (500 MHz, CD3OD) δ: 8.67 (s, 1H), 5.60 (q, J=7.3 Hz, 1H), 3.90 (s, 3H), 1.88 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 3H). LC-MS: m/z (ES) 200 (MH)+.
