Ethanol → N-[(R)-1-[3-(1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-piperidyl)-(E)-acryloyl]-3-piperidylcarbonyl]-3(R)-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-beta-alanine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of LiOH (0.11 g) in H2O (10 ml) was added to a solution of N-[(R)-1-[3-(1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-piperidyl)-(E)-acryloyl]-3-piperidylcarbonyl]-3(R)-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-β-alanine methyl ester (1.83 g) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml)-EtOH (10 ml) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature, and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was resolved in ethyl acetate-water, and acidified with 10% aq. KHSO4. The whole was washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, and evaporated in vacuo to give N-[(R)-1-[3-(1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-piperidyl)-(E)-acryloyl]-3-piperidylcarbonyl]-3(R)-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-β-alanine as a colorless oil (1.33 g, 74.4%).
