Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → Methyl 3-[[5-(3-hydroxy-1-piperidyl)-2-methyl-benzoyl]amino]-2,4-dimethyl-benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-[[5-[3-[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy-1-piperidyl]-2-methyl-benzoyl]amino]-2,4-dimethyl-benzoate (0.4 g, 0.78 mmol) in THF (20 ml) is added Bu4NF 1.0 M in THF (0.409 g, 1.56 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture is gradually warmed to ambient temperature. After 1 hour, the reaction mixture is diluted with ice-water and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The organic layers are combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue. The residue is purified by flash chromatography (silica gel) over a gradient using 3% methanol in dichloromethane to afford the title compound as a white solid (0.3 g, 97%).
