Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl 3-(5-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-1-(4-cyano-2-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)propanoate (100 mg, 0.249 mmol) and potassium carbonate (52 mg, 0.373 mmol) in DMSO (1 mL) was added 30% aqueous H2O2 (28.2 mg, 0.249 mmol). The resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. TLC showed the reaction was completed. Water (7 mL) was added and white solid precipitated. The suspension was centrifuged and the aqueous phase was discarded. The resultant solid was dried in vacuum to afford the amide intermediate as a white solid (85 mg, yield 81%). To the mixture of this intermediate in H2O (0.6 mL) and THF (0.6 mL) was added LiOH.H2O (10 mg, 0.238 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. THF was evaporated in vacuum. The residue was acidified to pH=4 with 5% hydrochloric acid, centrifuged and dried to afford 3-(5-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-1-(4-carbamoyl-2-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)propanoic acid as a white solid (46 mg, overall yield 47%).
