Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → HCID 66895240, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-2-{4-[3-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-propyl)-phenoxy]-2-oxo-2,5-dihydro-pyrrol-1-yl}-4-methyl-pentanoic acid methyl ester (0.480 g, 1.28 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) and water (2 mL) was added lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.058 g 1.35 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was poured into water and washed with diethyl ether. The aqueous phase was acidified with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (pH<2), and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was precipitated from dichloromethane with an excess of hexanes to afford (S)-2-{4-[3-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-propyl)-phenoxy]-2-oxo-2,5-dihydro-pyrrol-1-yl}-4-methyl-pentanoic acid (0.410 g, 89%), as an off-white solid.
