Reaction Steps

5-(3,3-Dimethyl-but-1-ynyl)-3-[(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-(4-oxo-cyclohexyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (519 mg, 1.13 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of 3:2:1 THF:MeOH:H2O (25 mL). Lithium hydroxide (5 mL, 1.0N aqueous solution) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was then partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The aqueous phase was neutralized with 5% citric acid(aq), and thrice extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to afford 505 mg of 5-(3,3-dimethyl-but-1-ynyl)-3-[(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-(4-oxo-cyclohexyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid which was carried on without further purification.
