Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexanecarboxylate (Intermediate 72, 900 mg, 2.85 mmol) was added to 6M aq. hydrochloric acid (0.951 mL, 5.71 mmol) in acetic acid (5 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to 90° C. for 48 h and then concentrated under vacuum. The residue was taken up in a minimal volume of ethyl acetate and a white solid precipitated. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with acetonitrile and dried to provide the product acid (475 mg) as a white solid. LCMS [M−H]=286.3
