Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-[(2-chloro-6-methylphenyl)carbonyl]-4-(5-chloro-1-methyl-2-oxo-3-pyridinyl)-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (51 mg, 0.108 mmol) in THF (3 mL) was treated with a solution of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (18 mg, 0.43 mmol) in water (1.0 mL). Additional THF was added to effect a clear solution and the reaction mixture was stirred 1 hr. TLC (ethyl acetate) indicated starting material was consumed. A few drops of acetic were added and the entire reaction mixture was applied to a 4×30 cm, C-18 reversed phase HPLC column and eluted with a linear gradient of acetonitrile in water of 5 to 95% over 35 min. The product containing fraction was lyophillyzed to give N-[(2-chloro-6-methylphenyl)carbonyl]-4-(5-chloro-1-methyl-2-oxo-3-pyridinyl)-L-phenylalanine (40 mg, 82%) as a white solid. LR-Electrospray: m/z positive ion, 481(M+Na), 459(M+H (2 Cl)); negative ion, 457 (M−H (2 Cl)).
