Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → 4-(3-(Benzyloxycarbonylamino)-2-methylphenyl)-7-bromo-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-1-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 4-(3-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)-2-methylphenyl)-7-bromo-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-1-carboxylate (1.338 g, 2.396 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (48 mL) and methanol (16 mL) at room temperature was added a solution of lithium hydroxide hydrate (0.402 g, 9.58 mmol) in water (10 mL). The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hr, and then concentrated under vacuum to a volume of about 10 mL. The residue was diluted with water (5 mL) and neutralized with 1 N HCl solution to pH 5-6. The precipitating product (1.177 g, 2.219 mmol, 93% yield) was collected as a beige solid by suction filtration and dried over Drierite under vacuum.
