Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 14882511, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.42 g) in water (5 ml) was added to a stirred solution of methyl E-4-[6-[2-(propylcarbamoyl)vinyl]-indol-1-ylmethyl]-3-methoxybenzoate (1 g) in methanol (20 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) under an atmosphere of nitrogen. The mixture was stirred for 20 hr, diluted with water (20 ml), and acidified to pH 4 with 6M hydrochloric acid. The white precipitate which formed was isolated by filtration, washed with water, and crystallized from hot methanol (cooling the crystallizing solution to -20°) to give the title compound (0.572 g). The mother liquor, after addition of water, yielded an additional crop of the title compound (0.255 g, 84% combined yield) as a white solid; mp 210°-212°.
