Hydrochloric Acid → (+/-)-{3-{[2-(4,5-Diphenyloxazol-2-yl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]methyl}benzoylamino}acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl (±)-{3-{[2-(4,5-diphenyloxazol-2-yl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]methyl}benzoylamino}acetate (136.8 mg, 0.263 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (4 ml) was added a solution of lithium hydroxide-water (22.1 mg, 0.526 mmol) in MeOH-water (1:1) (2.8 ml) at 5° C. and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. To the reaction mixture was added 1N-hydrochloric acid (0.8 ml) at 5° C. and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water and brine successively, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo to give (±)-{3-{[2-(4,5-diphenyloxazol-2-yl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]methyl}benzoylamino}acetic acid (129.0 mg, 100%).
