Participants

Reaction Steps

1.05 g (2.84 mmol) of the compound from Example 11A are provided in 30 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and 0.68 g (28.4 mmol) of lithium hydroxide and 10 ml of water are added at room temperature. The mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight, a 1N aqueous HCl solution is then added until an acidic pH is established, the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic phase is washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude product is purified by preparative HPLC (RP18 column; eluent: acetonitrile/water gradient). 0.60 g (62% of theory) of the title compound are obtained.
