Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of intermediate (1) (0.026 mole) and KOH (0.13 mole) in ethanol (150 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours, heated at 50° C. for 2.5 hours and cooled to room temperature. The precipitate was filtered off, stirred in 2-propanol, filtered off, washed three times with 2-propanol and dried. This fraction was stirred and refluxed in 2-propanol. HCl/2-propanol 6N (19.94 ml) was added. The mixture was stirred and refluxed, filtered warm and stirred in water (350 ml). The precipitate was filtered off and dried, yielding 5.94 g of (±)-4-(4-nitrophenyl)-α-phenyl-1-piperazineacetic acid monohydrate (intermediate 2).
