Sodium Hydroxide → [3-{1-[(Benzoyloxy)carbonyl]piperidin-4-yl}-2-oxotetrahydropyrimidin-1(2H)-yl]acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

An aqueous 4N sodium hydroxide solution (10 mL) was added to a solution of benzyl 4-[3-(tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl)-2-oxotetrahydropyrimidin-1(2H)-yl]piperidin-1-carboxylate (1.7 g) obtained in Example 35a) in ethanol (20 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Ethanol was distilled off under reduced pressure, and 1N hydrochloric acid was added to the residue to adjust pH to 3, followed by extraction with chloroform. The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (1.5 g, quantitative) as a white powder.
