Hydrochloric Acid → 5-(2-Hydroxycarbonylmethyloxyphenyl)-4-(2,2-dimethylpropionyl)-3-hydroxy-1-(4-thiophene-3-ylphenyl)-1,5-dihydropyrrole-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-(2,2-dimethylpropionyl)-3-hydroxy-5-(2-methoxycarbonylmethyloxyphenyl)-1-(4-thiophene-3-ylphenyl)-1,5-dihydropyrrole-2-one (0.172 g, 0.34 mmol), THF (1.72 mL), and methanol (1.72 mL) was added 1 mol/L aqueous lithium hydroxide solution (1.02 mL), and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. After the reaction was completed, 2 mol/L hydrochloric acid (0.52 mL) and water (14 mL) were added to the reaction mixture, and the precipitated aimed compound was collected by filtration. The resulting aimed compound was dissolved in ethyl acetate, and the mixture was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and then concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was triturated with ethyl ether and diisopropyl ether to give 5-(2-hydroxycarbonylmethyloxyphenyl)-4-(2,2-dimethylpropionyl)-3-hydroxy-1-(4-thiophene-3-ylphenyl)-1,5-dihydropyrrole-2-one (0.137 g, yield: 82%) as pale yellow solid.
