Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → 5-[2-Methyl-4-(3-methyl-4,10-dihydro-3H-2,3,4,9-tetraaza-benzo[f]azulene-9-carbonyl)-phenyl]-pentanoic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (120 mg, 2.86 mmol) was added to a solution of 5-[2-methyl-4-(3-methyl-4,10-dihydro-3H-2,3,4,9-tetraaza-benzo[f]azulene-9-carbonyl)-phenyl]-pentanoic acid methyl ester from Example E83.1 (410 mg, 0.95 mmol) in THF (10 ml) and water (5 ml). The mixture was stirred for 24 h at room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was acidified with 1M HCl and extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluant; 3% acetic acid:7% methanol:90% chloroform) to yield the title compound (105 mg, 26%).
