Lithium Hydroxide → HCID 85615690, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the ester (5 g, 12.16 mmole) of Step G, in dry tetrahydrofuran (66 mL) is added 1N-LiOH (37 mL, 37 mmole) and the mixture is stirred under nitrogen at room temperature for 2.5 hours (TLC, toluene-MeOH 9:1 ). The tetrahydrofuran is evaporated and the residue is diluted with water, acidified (to pH 6.5) with 10% acetic acid and extracted with ethyl acetate (3x). The extracts are washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to dryness. The crude product (4.94 g, pale yellow solid) is recrystallized from ethyl acetate to provide 3.65 g (75%) of the pure title compound (white solid, m.p. 146°-147° C.).
