{9-[(3-Fluorophenyl)methyl]-5-carbamoylcarbazol-4-yl}oxyacetic acid, tert-butyl ester → {9-[(3-Fluorophenyl)methyl]-5-carbamoylcarbazol-4-yl}oxyacetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the {9-[(3-fluorophenyl)methyl]-5-carbamoylcarbazol-4-yl}oxyacetic acid, tert-butyl ester (40.0 mg, 0.089 mM) in 2 mL of trifluoroacetic acid was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was triturated with ethyl ether, then dried in vacuo to afford 35.0 mg (100%) of the {9-[(3-fluorophenyl)methyl]-5-carbamoylcarbazol-4-yl}oxyacetic acid as a white powder. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ13.0 (br s, 1H), 7.75 (s, 1H), 7.6 (d, 1H, J=8 Hz), 7.5-7.25 (m, 5H), 7.2-6.8 (m, 4H), 6.6 (d, 1H, J=8 Hz), 5.7 (s, 2H), and 4.8 (s, 2H).
