Hydrochloric Acid → [9-[(Cyclohexyl)methyl]-5-carbamoylcarbazol-4-yl]oxyacetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A slurry of [9-[(cyclohexyl)methyl]-5-carbamoylcarbazol-4-yl]oxyacetic acid, methyl ester (20 mg, 0.051 mmol) in 0.3 mL of THF and 0.1 mL of MeOH was treated with 0.1 mL of 1 N aq LiOH (0.1 mmol), and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction was acidified with 0.2 N HCl, and the organics were removed in vacuo. The white precipitate was filtered away from the aqueous layer and rinsed with Et2O to afford 16 mg (0.042 mmol; 83%) the title acid as a white powder. MS (ES) m/e 381 (M+1), 364 (M+H−NH3), 379 (M−1).
