Sodium Hydroxide → (E)-2-Acetylamino-3-[3-benzyloxy-4-(1,1,4-trioxo-1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-2-yl)-phenyl]-acrylic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (E)-2-acetylamino-3-[3-benzyloxy-4-(1,1,4-trioxo-1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-2-yl)-phenyl]-acrylic acid methyl ester is added 3 equivalents of NaOH (3N solution). After 4 h, three additional equivalents of NaOH is added and stirring is continued for 18 h. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the residue acidified with 1N HCl and the mixture is extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase is washed with water and brine then is dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure to give the title compound. This is used directly in the next step.
