Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3-bromo-phenyl)-dimethylamino-acetic acid ethyl ester (350 mg, 1.2 mmol) in DMF was added potassium hydroxide (4 mL, 50% in water) and water (50 mL). The resulting mixture was refluxed for 25 hours. The mixture was neutralized to pH 7 with concentrated hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL×4). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to afford (3-Bromo-phenyl)-dimethylamino-acetic acid (290 mg, 94%). MS: m/z 258 (M+H+).
