Hydrochloric Acid → 4-[4-Chloro-3-(1-cyclohexyl-2-oxo-pyrrolidin-3-ylmethyl)-2-fluoro-phenyl]-butyric acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Add 5 N NaOH solution (3 mL, 3 mmol) into 4-[4-chloro-3-(1-cyclohexyl-2-oxo-pyrrolidin-3-ylmethyl)-2-fluoro-phenyl]-butyric acid ethyl ester (Preparation 79) (0.58 g, 1.4 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) at room temperature and stir for 30 minutes. Evaporate MeOH under reduced pressure and neutralize the residue by 1N HCl. Extract the mixture with ethyl acetate (10 mL) and separate the organic layer. Dry the organic layer with magnesium sulfate, filter and evaporate solvent under reduced pressure. Purify the residue by column chromatography to obtain the title product as white solid (300 mg, 55%): Mass spectrum (ion spray): m/z=396.0 (M+H).
