Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2.77 g of N-(t-butoxy carbonylmethoxy) phthalimide (Compound (13)) in 10 ml of anhydrous methylene chloride was added dropwise 1.37 g of trifluoro acetic acid, and the mixture was followed by stirring at room temperature over night. After the reaction was completed, the resultant was filtrated to give 520 mg of N-(corboxy methoxy) phthalimide (Compound (11)) in the form of white crystals.
