Hydrochloric Acid → 2-[2-{2-Chloro-4-fluoro-5-[3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-yl]phenoxy}phenoxy]propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.365 g of methyl 2-[2-{2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-[3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-yl]phenoxy}phenoxy]propionate [Compound 3-1 of the present invention] was dissolved in 4 ml of 1,4-dioxane, to this was added a mixed solution of 1 ml of conc. hydrochloric acid and 1 ml of water while stirring, then, the mixture was heated for 5 hours and 45 minutes while stirring under reflux condition. Thereafter, the solution was allowed to cool, and ice water was poured into the reaction solution, ethyl acetate and saturated saline were added to the solution which was separated subsequently, and aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate was added to the organic layer before separation, aqueous hydrochloric acid was added to the aqueous layer to acidify it, then, ethyl acetate was added before separation, the organic layer was washed with saturated saline, and dried over magnesium sulfate, then, concentrated to obtain 0.183 g of 2-[2-{2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-[3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-yl]phenoxy}phenoxy]propionic acid.
