Lithium Hydroxide → (S)-2-{4'-[(5-Cyano-4-methoxy-3-methyl-benzofuran-2-carbonyl)-amino]-biphenyl-4-sulfonylamino}-3-methyl-butyric acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 70 mg of (S)-2-{4′-[(5-cyano-4-methoxy-3-methyl-benzofuran-2-carbonyl)-amino]-biphenyl-4-sulfonylamino}-3-methyl-butyric acid methyl ester was added 1.5 mL of THF and 2 mL of LiOH solution (3.6 g LiOH/50 mL MeOH/50 mL H2O). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 days. The solvents were removed under vacuum and the residue was dissolved in 5 mL of water. The solution was acidified and the resulting suspension was filtered. The solid product was dried under vacuum to give 42 mg (61% yield) of (S)-2-{4′-[(5-cyano-4-methoxy-3-methyl-benzofuran-2-carbonyl)-amino]-biphenyl-4-sulfonylamino}-3-methyl-butyric acid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 0.8 (dd, J=12.6, 6.8 Hz, 6 H) 2.0 (m, 1 H) 2.7 (s, 3 H) 3.6 (dd, J=9.5, 5.9 Hz, 1 H) 4.2 (s, 3 H) 7.6 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1 H) 7.8 (m, 7 H) 8.0 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2 H) 8.1 (d, J=9.1 Hz, 1 H) 10.7 (s, 1 H).
