Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 2050653, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

(4-Benzoylpiperazin-1-yl)acetic acid ethyl ester (8.19 g) was dissolved in methanol (300 ml) and water (50 ml), and then lithium hydroxide (1.34 g) was added thereto while cooling in an ice water bath, followed by stirring for 10 min. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and then the mixture was stirred for 24 hrs. 1 N Hydrochloric acid (55.9 ml) was added to the reaction mixture, and the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Ethanol (200 ml) was added to the residue. The mixture was passed through Celite to remove the precipitated insoluble material. The obtained filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to provide a crude product of (4-benzoylpiperazin-1-yl)acetic acid (8.6 g) as a white solid.
