Participants

Reaction Steps

To 3-[(1,4-Dioxa-spiro[4.5]dec-8-yl)-(trans 4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-amino]-5-phenyl-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (401 mg, 0.806 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (4 ml) was added 3N HCl solution (4 ml) and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. It was then diluted with ethyl acetate (10 ml), the organic layer was separated, and the aqueous phase was washed twice with ethyl acetate (2×10 mL). The combined ethyl acetate layer was washed with brine (10 ml) and dried on Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (0% to 40% EtOAc/Hexane) to obtain 315 mg (86%) of 3-[(4-Methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-(4-oxo-cyclohexyl)-amino]-5-phenyl-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester.
