Acetic Acid → HCID 20358652, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

methyl-2-(benzo[d]oxazol-5-yl)propanoate (2.07 mmol, 425 mg) was dissolved in THF (8 ml) and water (8 m). LiOH*H2O (2.21 mmol, 93 mg) was added at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 40 h, water (25 ml) was added and the pH was set to 3 with acetic acid. The reaction mixture was extracted with dichloromethane and the combined organic phases were dried and filtered over magnesium sulphate. The solvent was removed in a vacuum and the residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, dichloromethane/MeOH=15:1). 1H-NMR (CD3OD) δ [ppm]: 8.46 (s, 1H, Ar), 7.70 (d, 1H, J=1.7 Hz, Ar), 7.61 (d, 1H, 8.0 Hz, Ar), 7.42 (dd, 1H, J=8.6, 1.8 Hz, Ar), 3.87 (q, 1H, J=7.1 Hz, CHCH3), 1.51 (d, 3H, J=7.1 Hz, CHCH3).
