Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → 3-{[Butyl(methyl)amino]carbonyl}-5-(1,3-oxazol-2-yl)benzoic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To methyl 3-{[butyl(methyl)amino]carbonyl}-5-(1,3-oxazol-2-yl)benzoate (660 mg, 2.1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran/methanol/water (1:1:1, 9 mL) is added lithium hydroxide monohydrate (175 mg, 4.2 mmol), and the reaction is stirred at room temperature 16 h. The solution is diluted in chloroform and washed with water and saturated sodium chloride, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound. ESI MS m/z 301.1 [M−H]−.
