Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

53 mg of (R)-methyl 3-(t-butoxycarbonylamino)-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butanoate, 1.5 mL of tetrahydrofuran, and 0.5 mL of water were added to 25 mL flask and the resulting reaction solution was cooled to 0° C. 7.32 mg of lithium hydroxide was added to the reaction solution and stirred for 6 hours while the reaction temperature was naturally increased to room temperature. After completing the reaction, 5 mL of ethyl acetate and 5 mL of water were added to the reaction solution and stirred for 10 minutes. An aqueous layer was isolated, cooled at 0° C., and 2 N hydrochloric acid aqueous solution was dropped to adjust to pH 3-4. The aqueous layer was extracted with methylene chloride:methanol=10:1 solvent, dehydrated with magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 40.8 mg of a title compound.
