Sodium Hydroxide → 1-{4-[5-(2-Fluorobiphenyl-4-yl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl]benzyl}piperidine-4,4-dicarboxylic acid benzyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

An aqueous solution (50 mL) of sodium hydroxide (1.7 g, 0.043 mol) is added to a stirred solution of 1-{4-[5-(2-fluorobiphenyl-4-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole-3-yl]benzyl}piperidine-4,4-dicarboxylic acid dibenzyl ester (18.3 g, 0.027 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (150 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred overnight at room temperature and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is acidified to pH ˜6 with diluted hydrochloric acid to give a solid which is filtered and washed with diethylether (100 mL) to furnish 1-{4-[5-(2-fluorobiphenyl-4-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole-3-yl]benzyl}piperidine-4,4-dicarboxylic acid mono benzyl ester.
