Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4,4-dimethyl-2-(3-morpholin-4-yl-phenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester (100 mg, 0.3 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) and methanol (2 mL) was added 3 N sodium hydroxide (1 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 6 hours, and then diluted with water (10 mL), extracted with diethyl ether (20 mL). The organic layer was discarded. The aqueous layer was acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid to pH 4 and extracted with ethyl acetate (40 mL×3); and the combined organics were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 The solvent was removed in vacuo and purified by preparative HPLC to afford 4,4-dimethyl-2-(3-morpholin-4-yl-phenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-6-carboxylic acid (50 mg, 52%) as a yellow foam. MS (ESI+) [(M+H)+] 367.2.
