Reaction Steps

(R)-(Methyl-phenyl-amino)-phenyl-acetic acid methyl ester (I73) (125 mg, 0.49 mmol) is dissolved in dioxane (2 mL). 37% Hydrogen chloride in water (3.00 mL, 36.5 mmol) is added and the mixture is stirred at 70° C. for 18 hours. Then a second portion of 37% hydrogen chloride in water (1.00 mL, 12.2 mmol) is added and the mixture is stirred at 70° C. for additional 36 hours. The mixture is cooled to RT and the white precipitate is filtered and washed with dioxane and Et2O to obtain intermediate I122 as a white solid (97 mg, 71% yield).
