Lithium Hydroxide → [4-(4'-Trifluoromethylbiphenyl-2-carbonyl-amino)piperidin-1-yl]acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of [4-(4′-trifluoromethylbiphenyl-2-carbonylamino)piperidin-1-yl]acetic acid ethyl ester (595 mg) obtained in Example 8c) in tetrahydrofuran-methanol (1:2; 10.2 mL) was added 1M aqueous lithium hydroxide (6.8 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. The reaction solution was concentrated in vacuo and 2N hydrochloric acid was added to the residue to adjust the pH to about 3, thereby crystals were precipitated. The crystals were collected by filtration, washed with cold water and dried in vacuo to give the title compound (411 mg).
