Sodium Hydroxide → (R)-4-(biphenyl-4-yl)-3-(3-carboxypropanamido)butanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-4-(1-(biphenyl-4-yl)-4-ethoxy-4-oxobutan-2-ylamino)-4-oxobutanoic acid (61.2 mg, 0.160 mmol) in THF (1.6 mL) and methanol (0.2 mL), aqueous 1M NaOH solution (0.638 mL, 0.638 mmol) is added at room temperature. After stirring for 45 minutes, the reaction is quenched with aqueous 0.1 M HCl and is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give (R)-4-(biphenyl-4-yl)-3-(3-carboxypropanamido)butanoic acid (54.9 mg). HPLC retention time=1.33 minutes (condition A); MS (m+1)=356.1; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ ppm 2.40-2.56 (m, 6 H) 2.83-2.94 (m, 2 H) 4.43-4.50 (m, 1 H) 7.29-7.32 (m, 3 H) 7.41 (t, 2 H, J=7.7 Hz) 7.53-7.60 (m, 4 H).
