Reaction Steps

The ester (600 mgs, 1.9 mmol) in 4N sodium hydroxide (20 ml) and methanol (20 ml) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent was evaporated and the residue dissolved in water (10 ml) and acidified with 5N hydrochloric acid. The acidic solution was extracted with dichloromethane (3 ×50 ml), and the combined organics dried and evaporated to afford 3-(N-benzoylanilino)phenylacetic acid as an oil (550 mgs); δH (CDCl3) 3.59 (2H, s, CH2CO2H), 6.83-7.29 (10H, m, ArH), 7.42-7.48 (3H, m, ArH), 8.09 (2H, d, J 7.2 Hz, ArH).
