Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → HCID 59346905, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (1.30 g, 0.03 mol) in water (40 mL) was added to a solution of methyl 3-(benzyloxy)-5-[(1R)-2-methoxy-1-methylethoxy]benzoate (4.11 g, 0.012 mol) in THF (80 mL) and the reaction mixture stirred for 20 hours at ambient temperature. The THF was removed in vacuo. The aqueous residue was adjusted to pH3 with 1M hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The combined extracts were washed with brine (50 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and evaporated to give the desired compound (3.79 g).
