Reaction Steps
To a solution of 4-hydroxy-benzoic acid tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl ester 15 (18 grams, 71.42 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) is added 10% lithium hydroxide solution (35 mL). The mixture is heated at 50-60° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mass is cooled to room temperature, and the pH is adjusted to 4 with dilute acetic acid. The organic phase is separated and distilled to give crude 16, which can be purified in appropriate solvent.
