Ethyl Acetate → HCID 21949603, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

11.70 g of the above prepared 2-isobutyrylamino-pent-4-enoic acid ethyl ester (67.55 mmol) were dissolved in 110 ml of a 1:1 mixture of EtOH and THF and treated under cooling with an ice bath with 33.80 ml of 2N NaOH (2 eq.). After 2.5 h, the reaction mixture was poured onto crashed ice/AcOEt/HCl, the aqueous phase reextracted once more with AcOEt, the combined organic layers washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to dryness. Crystallization from AcOEt/hexane afforded 7.95 g of the title product as white solid.
