Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the compound of example 71 (1.09 g, 2.48 mmol) in methanol (50 mL) was added drop wise a sodium hydroxide solution (1N, 5 mL, 5 mmol). After stirring the reaction mixture for 24 h, the solvent was evaporated. The residue was partitioned between water and ether. The aqueous phase was acidified with concentrated HCl, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried, filtered and evaporated to give the product as a white solid. 1H-NMR(CDCl3, 400 MHz: 1.37(s, 9H); 2.28-2.61(m, 4H); 2.79(t, J=7.3 Hz, 2H); 3.08(m, 1H); 3.27(m, 1H); 3.39 (m, 2H); 6.25(m, t, 5.1 Hz, 1H); 7.26(m, 3H); 7.36(m, 2H); 7.52(m, 4H).
