Hydrochloric Acid → 3-(3-Cyclopropylmethoxy-4-difluoromethoxy-phenyl)-3-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-amino-3-(3-cyclopropylmethoxy-4-difluoromethoxy-phenyl)-propionic acid (0.78 g, 2.9 mmol) and N-ethoxy-carbonyl-phthalimide (0.64 g, 2.9 mmol) in 30 ml of water and acetonitrile (1:1) was added sodium carbonate (0.33 g, 31 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. 1N HCl was added dropwise until pH=2. The mixture was extracted with ether (2×25 ml). The organic layer was washed with water (2×20 ml), brine (20 ml) and was dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give 3-(3-cyclopropylmethoxy-4-difluoromethoxy-phenyl)-3-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-propionic acid as a colorless oil (1.1 g, 91%). 1HNMR (CDCl3): δ 0.32–0.38 (m, 2H), 0.60–0.67 (m, 2H), 1.17–1.28 (m, 1H), 3.33(dd,J=6, 17Hz, 1H), 3.79 (dd, J=10, 17 Hz, 1H), 3.86 (d, J=8 Hz, 2H), 4.92 (broad, 1H), 5.74 (dd, J=6, 10 Hz, 1H), 6.58 (t, JH-F=75 Hz, 1H), 7.10 (s, 2H), 7.16 (s, 1H), 7.69–7.74 (m, 2H), 7.78–7.83 (m, 2H).
