Hydrochloric Acid → 3-[4-(2-Tert-butylphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-3-oxopropanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 3-[4-(2-tert-butylphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-3-oxopropanoate obtained in Example 8 (300 mg), lithium hydroxide monohydrate (840 mg), water (10 mL), and tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. 6 M hydrochloric acid solution was added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to provide the title compound (199 mg, 73%) as a colorless solid.
