Water → 7-((2-((Tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)phenyl)amino)-7-oxoheptanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of Ethyl 7-((2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)phenyl)amino)-7-oxoheptanoate (14 g, 37 mmol) in Ethanol (80 mL) was added KOH (6.2 g, 111 mmol) and water (80 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours, and then concentrated under reduce pressure. The pH value of the solution was adjusted to 4 by concentrated HCl. The resulting mixture was extracted by EtOAc (200 mL×3). The organic layers were combined and dried over Na2SO4, then concentrated to give the desired compound (12 g, yield 92.5%).
