Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-phenyl-2-[(pyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino]-propionic acid methylester (1.2 g, 4.2 mmol) in methanol (10 mL), THF (30 mL) was added LiOH (0.885 g, 21.1 mmol) dissolved in water (10 mL). The mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature (25° C.) over a period of 2 hrs. THF was evaporated from reaction mixture, acidified with 1.5N HCl then extracted with ethylacetate (200 mL) and concentrated to obtain product as yellow color solid (1.0 g, 96%).
