Trifluoroacetic acid → 2-(4-Cyano-1-oxoisoindolin-2-yl)-4-carbamoylbutanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl 2-(4-cyano-1-oxoisoindolin-2-yl)-4-carbamoylbutanoate (1.0 g, 2.91 mmol) and trifluoroacetic acid (5 mL) was stirred for 2 hours. The mixture was concentrated and the residue was crystallized from ether (15 mL) to give 2-(4-cyano-1-oxoisoindolin-2-yl)-4-carbamoylbutanoic acid (0.74 g, 89%) as a white solid: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 13.12 (b, 1H), 8.12 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H). 8.03 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.73 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.23 (s, 1H), 6.76 (s, 1H), 4.80-4.62 (m, 3H), 2.32-2.09 (m, 4H).
