Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → (R)-3-(3,4-diethyl-phenyl)-2-{[4-(2-oxo-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-1,3-benzodiazepin-3-yl)-piperidine-1-carbonyl]-amino}-propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

74.4 g (0.147 mol) methyl (R)-3-(3,4-diethyl-phenyl)-2-{[4-(2-oxo-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-1,3-benzodiazepin-3-yl)-piperidine-1-carbonyl]-amino}-propionate dissolved in 600 mL THF was combined with 5.4 g (0.221 mol) lithium hydroxide hydrate in 300 mL water while cooling with an ice bath and stirred overnight at RT. The reaction mixture was evaporated down under reduced pressure, 300 mL water was added and the mixture was extracted three times with 200 mL EtOAc. The aqueous phase was freed from the organic solvent under reduced pressure and combined with 500 mL 2 M HCl with stirring and cooling with the ice bath. The precipitate formed was suction filtered, washed with water and dried.
