Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the residue obtained in Example 34 and mercaptoacetic acid (0.278 mL, 4.00 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (2 mL) was added lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.336 g, 8.00 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 67 hr. Ethyl acetate was added to the residue, and the mixture was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (10%-40% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (0.760 g, yield 82%, 2 steps) as a yellow oil.
