Hydrochloric Acid → (3-{6-[2-(2,4-Dichloro-phenyl)-ethylamino]-2-methoxy-pyrimidin-4-yl}-benzoylamino)-acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (3-{6-[2-(2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-ethylamino]-2-methoxy-pyrimidin-4-yl}-benzoylamino)-acetic acid ethyl ester [120 mg, 0.24 mmol, Example 58], lithium hydroxide (20 mg, 0.48 mmol) in THF (1 mL), MeOH (1 mL) and water (1 mL) is stirred for 20 hours at ambient temperature. The mixture is acidified to pH 1 with 10% hydrochloric acid and extracted three times with EtOAc (25 mL). The organic extracts are combined and dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated by rotary evaporator to provide (3-{6-[2-(2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-ethylamino]-2-methoxy-pyrimidin-4-yl}-benzoylamino)-acetic acid [49 mg, 43%, Example 59]. LCMS: RT=2.77 minutes, MS: 475 (M+H). IC50=0.8 nM
