Sodium Hydroxide → 4-({[(3R,4S)-3-({(tert-butoxycarbonyl)[(1R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]amino}methyl)-4-phenylpyrrolidin-1-yl]carbonyl}amino)-3-methoxybenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 243 mg of methyl 4-({[(3R,4S)-3-({(tert-butoxycarbonyl)[(1R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]amino}methyl)-4-phenylpyrrolidin-1-yl]carbonyl}amino)-3-methoxybenzoate and 6.0 ml of a THF-methanol (2:1) mixed solvent was mixed with 1.0 ml of 1 M sodium hydroxide aqueous solution at room temperature and stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction solution was concentrated under a reduced pressure, and the residue was mixed with 1 M hydrochloric acid, extracted with chloroform and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under a reduced pressure, and the thus obtained residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (chloroform-methanol) to obtain 227 mg of 4-({[(3R,4S)-3-({(tert-butoxycarbonyl)[(1R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]amino}methyl)-4-phenylpyrrolidin-1-yl]carbonyl}amino)-3-methoxybenzoic acid as a pale brown oily substance.
