Sodium Hydroxide → 4-(Benzyloxycarbonylamino)bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 4-benzyloxycarbonylaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1-carboxylate (64.3 g) was dissolved in ethanol (1100 mL). To this solution, a 1 mol/L aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (1000 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 1 hour Ethanol in the mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue washed with diethylether (500 mL), followed by addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH to 1. The resulting crystals were filtrated, washed with water, dried under reduced pressure to give 4-benzyloxycarbonylaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1-carboxylic acid (56.1 g).
