Hydrochloric Acid → 2-(3-Fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

After LiOH (0.059 g, 1.40 mmol) was dissolved in water (5 mL), H2O2 (0.3 mL, 3.52 mmol) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The reactant was added to the solution of (R)-4-benzyl-3-[2-(3-fluoro-4-methoxy-phenyl)-cyclopropanecarbonyl]-oxazolidin-2-o n (0.325 g, 0.88 mmol) obtained in Step C of Preparation Example 61 in THF/H2O (17 mL/4.4 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. After the termination of the reaction, Na2SO3 (1 g) dissolved in water (5 mL) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. 6N HCl was added thereto to adjust the pH to 2, and the reactant was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound, which was used in the next step without a separate purification process
