Hydrochloric Acid → (2R)-4-Biphenyl-4-yl-N-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)butanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of hydrochloric acid (4.2 mL, 4.0 M in 1,4-dioxane) was added to (2R)-4-biphenyl-4-yl-2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-N-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)butanamide (72 mg, 0.17 mmol). The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for 15 min, then anhydrous methanol (10 mL) was added. After 1 h, the reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure to provide a residue that was triturated with diethyl ether (35 mL). The ether was decanted off and the residual solvent was removed under reduced pressure to provide the title compound as an off-white solid (32 mg, 55%). LCMS m/z 348.2 (M+1). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.62 (s, 3H), 2.09 (m, 1H), 2.45-2.56 (m, 2H), 2.65 (m, 1H), 2.96 (s, 3H), 7.21 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H), 7.25-7.29 (m, 1H), 7.34-7.39 (m, 2H), 7.46 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H), 7.49-7.52 (m, 2H).
