Reaction Steps

A solution of N-[(R)-1-{3-(1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-piperidyl)propionyl}-3-piperidylcarbonyl]-3-ethynyl-β-alanine ethyl ester (1.38 g) in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml), ethanol (5 ml) and water (5 ml) was added lithium hydroxide (0.35 g) under stirring at 0° C. After stirring at ambient temperature for 1 hour, the mixture was acidified with 5% KHSO4 aqueous solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, brine and dried over MgSO4, and evaporated in vacuo to give N-[(R)-1-{3-(1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-piperidyl)propionyl}-3-piperidylcarbonyl]-3-ethynyl-β-alanine (1.12 g).
