Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 25128027, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

An aqueous solution (10 mL) of sodium hydroxide (0.86 g, 0.0215 mol) is added to a stirred solution of 1-{4-[5-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl]benzyl}piperidine-4,4-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester (2.3 g, 0.004 mol) in a mixture of ethanol (50 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (10 mL). The reaction mixture is refluxed for 20 hrs, then is concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is acidified with 3N HCl to pH ˜2. The solid thus formed is filtered, washed with a mixture of methanol:ether (30 mL, 10:90), then tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) and dried to furnish 1-{4-[5-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl]benzyl}-piperidine-4,4-dicarboxylic acid (e.g. 14).
