Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(4-Fluoro-3,5-diisopropoxybenzamido)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of methyl 4-(4-fluoro-3,5-diisopropoxybenzamido)benzoate (10) (32 mg, 51% purity, 82 μmol) in THF (1 mL) and 2M LiOH (0.16 mL, 0.33 mmol) was stirred at RT for 20 h, then at 45° C. for 2 h. The mixture was allowed to cool to RT and was acidified by the addition of 1M HCl. The mixture was partitioned between EtOAc (10 mL) and water (10 mL) and the phases were separated. The organic solution was washed with brine (3× mL), then dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by reverse phase HPLC to afford 4-(4-fluoro-3,5-diisopropoxybenzamido)benzoic acid (AAA-119) (8 mg, 38%) as a white solid: m/z 376 [M+H]+ (ES+), 374 [M−H]− (ES−); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ: 10.37 (1H, s), 7.93 (2H, d), 7.83 (2H, d), 7.35 (2H, d), 4.73 (2H, sep), 1.32 (12H, d). NB acid proton not visible.
