Hydrochloric Acid → (R)-ethyl 3-amino-4-(5'-fluoro-2'-methoxybiphenyl-4-yl)butanoate hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (R)-ethyl 3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-4-(5′-fluoro-2′-methoxybiphenyl-4-yl)butanoate, (2.86 g, 6.62 mmol) in 4M HCl in 1,4-dioxane (33.1 ml, 132 mmol) is stirred at room temperature. After stirring for 1 hour, the reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure to give (R)-ethyl 3-amino-4-(5′-fluoro-2′-methoxybiphenyl-4-yl)butanoate hydrochloride salt (2.44 g).
