Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → 4-(4-(2-Tert-butoxy-2-oxoethyl)-2-(methylsulfonamido-methyl)phenoxy)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The product of step C (900 mg, 2.00 mmol) was diluted with dioxane (10 mL) followed by the addition of LiOH—H2O (126 mg, 3.00 mmol) dissolved in water (2 mL). After stirring for 12 hours, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and 2N HCl. The layers were separated and the organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The material was purified using a biotage 40M cartridge eluting with methylene chloride:MeOH (95:5) to yield 4-(4-(2-tert-butoxy-2-oxoethyl)-2-(methylsulfonamido-methyl)phenoxy)benzoic acid (710 mg, 81.4% yield) as a clear oil.
