Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium hydroxide (60 mg, 2.51 mmol) in water (1 mL) was added dropwise to a stirring solution of methyl 4-(3,5-dichloro-4-ethoxybenzamido)-2-methylbenzoate (3) (267 mg, 56%) (240 mg, 0.628 mmol) in THF (5 mL) and the resulting yellow solution was stirred for 5 days at RT. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and dissolved in water (5 mL), then acidified with 2 M HCl. The resultant mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over MgSO4 and filtered and pre-adsorbed on silica. Silica gel chromatography (40 g, 0-10% IPA in DCM) provided 4-(3,5-dichloro-4-ethoxybenzamido)-2-methylbenzoic acid (AAA-019) (52 mg, 22%): m/z 366 (M−H)− (ES−). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ: 12.66 (1H, s), 10.49 (1H, s), 8.08 (2H, s), 7.87 (1H, d), 7.71 (1H, dd), 7.68 (1H, d), 4.14 (2H, q), 2.54 (3H, s), 1.40 (2H, t).
