Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 19736562, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The mixture of ethyl 2-n-propyl-3-{2'-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)biphenyl-4-yl}methyl-5-ethoxycarbonylacetyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carboxylate (657 mg), trifluoroacetic acid (3 ml) and methylene chloride (10 ml) is stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture is washed with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and brine, dried and evaporated to remove the solvent. The crude residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent; chloroform/methanol) to give ethyl 2-n-propyl-3-(2 -carboxybiphenyl-4-yl)methyl-5-ethoxycarbonylacetyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carboxylate (516 mg).
