Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 58708323, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 6X (2.94 g, 6.79 mmol) was added a solution of sodium hydroxide (326 mg, 8.15 mmol) in methanol (27.2 ml). After stirring for 20 h at rt, 37% hydrochloric acid (669 μl, 8.15 mmol) was added. After concentration in vacuo, a 0.4 M solution of hydrochloric acid (50 ml) was added. The resultant product (hydroxy carboxylic acid) was extracted with ethyl acetate four times and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After concentration, the residue was dissolved in toluene (34 ml) followed by addition of trifluoroacetic acid (105 μl, 1.36 mmol). After stirring for 6 h at 80° C., the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (eluted with 6:1 hexane:AcOEt) to give 2X (921 mg, 53%) as a white solid.
