Acetic Acid → 7-(4-(4-Chlorophenethylcarbamoyl)-2-methylphenoxy)-6-cyanochroman-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 7-(4-((4-chlorophenethyl)carbamoyl)-2-methylphenoxy)-6-cyanochroman-4-carboxylate (0.0063 g, 0.0125 mmol) was taken up in 0.5 ml THF and treated with aqueous 1.0 molar LiOH (0.0250 ml, 0.0250 mmol) at ambient temperature. After 48 hours, the reaction was neutralized with acetic acid and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the crude material by preparative thin layer chromatography using 5% MeOH/DCM with 1% HOAc as the mobile phase provided the title compound (2 mg, 38%). MS (apci) m/z=491.1 (M+H).
