Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-cyclopentyl-2-[4-(3-morpholin-4-yl-prop-1-ynyl)-phenyl]-propionic acid methyl ester (575 mg, 1.62 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) and water (10 mL) was treated with lithium hydroxide (778 mg, 18.5 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 5 h. At this time, the reaction was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was diluted with water (40 mL). This solution was acidified to pH=5 with concentrated hydrochloric acid and then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×40 mL). The combined organic extracts were then washed with a half-saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (1×40 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford 3-cyclopentyl-2-[4-(3-morpholin-4-yl-prop-1-ynyl)-phenyl]-propionic acid (601 mg, quant.) as a light brown oil: EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C21H27NO3 (M+) 341.1990, found 341.1996.
