Participants

Reaction Steps

The above ester (1.5 g, 3.1 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (20 ml). A 4 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (2.3 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 h. A concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (3 ml) was added until pH 1 and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (300 ml). The phases were separated and the organic phase was washed with water (10 ml) and dried over magnesium sulphate. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue re-evaporated with acetone. The foamy residue was dissolved in acetone (20 ml) and left for crystallization. This afforded 1.25 g of the title compound as a solid.
