Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Bromo-1-(4-cyano-benzyl)-2-{[methoxycarbonylmethyl-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-amino]-methyl}-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2 g, 3.32 mmol) was dissolved in 60 mL of MeOH and placed in ice bath. NaOMe solution (2.3 mL, 9.97 mmol, 4.375 M in MeOH) was added and the mixture was stirred for 16 h at r.t. 1 M HCl was added to acidify the mixture, and the resulting suspension was extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-20% EtOAc/CH2Cl2) to give 1 g of the title compound. MS: (−) m/z 412.07, 414.02 (M-1, 79/81Br).
