Hydrochloric Acid → (6E)-6-phenyl-6-[[4-[(5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)methoxy]phenyl]methoxyimino]hexanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (134 mg) was added to a solution of ethyl E-6-phenyl-6-[4-(5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-ylmethoxy)benzyloxyimino]hexanoate (545 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (6 ml)-water (4 ml)-ethanol (4 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. 1N hydrochloric acid (3.3 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to obtain E-6-phenyl-6-[4-(5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-ylmethoxy)benzyloxyimino]hexanoic acid (465 mg, yield 90%) as colorless crystals. m.p. 88-89° C.
