Hydrochloric Acid → [5-(5-{4-[2-(Trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]piperidin-1-yl}-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2H-tetrazol-2-yl]acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl [5-(5-{4-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]piperidin-1-yl}-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2H-tetrazol-2-yl]acetate (134 mg, 0.28 mmol) in THF/MeOH (2:1) (v/v) (4.6 mL) was treated with aqueous 1 N NaOH (1.5 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature until TLC indicated disappearance of the starting material. The reaction mixture was poured into aqueous aqueous 0.5 N HCl, extracted with EtOAc, washed with brine. The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and filtered. Evaporation of the solvent was followed by trituration in a mixture of Et2O/heptane with stirring for 1 h at room temperature. After this time, the title compound was collected by filtration as a white solid.
