Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(2-Acetylthio-3-methoxybenzoyl)-N-cyclopentylglycine (4.4 g, 12.5 mmol) was stirred with excess sodium hydroxide solution for 2 hours at 25° C., then acidified and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and brine, then dried and concentrated. The amorphous product was obtained by column chromatography of the residue.
