Lithium Hydroxide → (S)-2-((t-Butoxycarbonyl)amino)-3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)propanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 500-mL round-bottomed flask was charged with methyl N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-L-alaninate (8.81 g, 30.7 mmol), 100 mL of THF, 100 mL of water and lithium hydroxide (2.20 g, 92 mmol). After stirring overnight at room temperature, the mixture was concentrated and acidified to pH 3 with concentrated aqueous HCl. The mixture was then extracted with EtOAc, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated to give N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-L-alanine (8.00 g) as a white solid.
