Reaction Steps

A solution of KOH (720 mg, 12.8 mmol) in MeOH (5 mL) and H2O (2 mL) was added dropwise to a solution of 209 (1.90 g, 4.27 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) and CH2Cl2 (15 mL). After 48 h at room temperature CH2Cl2 and H2O were added. The aqueous layer was separated and acidified to pH 2 with 2 M HCl. The resulting white precipitate was collected, dissolved in CH2Cl2, and the solution was washed with H2O and brine. The CH2Cl2 layer was dried, the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was dried in a vacuum desiccator. Recrystallization from CH2Cl2/petroleum ether gave 7-[(dibenzylamino)sulfonyl]-2-naphthoic acid (210) (2.00 g, 99%) as colorless crystals: mp 189-190° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3) 8 (CO2H not observed) 8.76 (s, 1H), 8.47 (s, 1H), 8.29 (dd, J=8.6, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 8.01 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.92 (dd, J=8.7, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.23-7.15 (m, 6H), 7.12-7.05 (m, 4H), 5.29 (s, 1H), 4.42 (s, 4H); 13C NMR δ 170.8, 139.0, 137.0, 135.4, 133.1, 131.4, 129.7, 129.3, 128.6, 128.5, 128.4, 128.2, 128.1, 127.8, 125.3, 50.7.
