Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 3-(quinolin-2-yl)-2-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-2-ethoxycarbonyl-propanoate (0.5 g) in 5 ml of methanol is hydrolysed by treatment with a LiOH in MeOH-H2O solution. After 12 h at r.t., the solvent is evaporated off under vacuum and the residue is partitioned between AcOEt and an excess of a monobasic potassium phosphate saturated solution. The organic phase is separated, dried, evaporated to dryness to obtain 0.39 g of 3-(quinolin-2-yl)-2-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-2-carboxy-propanoic acid.
