Hydrochloric Acid → (S)-5-Chloro-2-hydroxy-N-(2-phenyl-1-{[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]carbamoyl)-ethyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

5N Aqueous sodium hydroxide (0.2 mL) was added to a solution of (S)-2-acetoxy-5-chloro-N-(2-phenyl-1-{[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]carbamoyl}-ethyl)benzamide (141.4 mg, 0.25 mmol) in a mixed solvent of methanol/tetrahydrofuran (2 mL+2 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into diluted hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. After the ethyl acetate layer was washed successively with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the residue obtained by evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure was crystallized by ethyl acetate/isopropyl ether/n-hexane to give the title compound (74.4 mg, 56.8%) as a white powder.
