Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-[2-(1,1-dioxido-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzothiazepin-4(5H)-yl)-6-methylquinolin-4-yl]-propionitrile (150 mg, 0.38 mmol), and powdered potassium hydroxide (172 mg, 3.07 mmol) in tert-butanol (8 mL) was heated with stirring under reflux for 1.5 hours. After being cooled to room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with water (15 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (15 mL×3). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column (eluting with 5% methanol in dichloromethane) to afford 125 mg of the product as a white solid.
