Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-1-[2-(S)-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-thiophen-2-yl-propionyl]-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (5.63 mmol; 3.17 g) in THF (30 mL) and methanol (20 mL) was added a 1M solution of sodium hydroxide (16.9 mmol; 16.9 mL) and the resulting mixture was heated to reflux for 48 hours. The resulting mixture was then evaporated and a 1N hydrochloric acid solution (200 mL) was added to the residue. A white precipitate formed that was separated via filtration to yield 4-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-1-[2-(S)-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-thiophen-2-yl-propionyl]-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid. MS (ESI) m/z 547.44 [M+H]+.
