Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl (1aRS,7bSR)-5-[2-(4-dimethylaminobutylamino)-4-fluorobenzene-sulfonylamino]-1,1a,2,7b-tetrahydrocyclopropa[c]chromene-4-carboxylate (Intermediate 161, 0.485 g) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.505 g) in dioxane (9 mL) and water (3 mL) was irradiated in the microwave at 130° C. for 45 minutes. After cooling, the mixture was diluted with methanol, acidified with formic acid and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with 20% methanol in DCM, filtered and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica, eluting with a mixture of methanol and DCM with a gradient of 0-20%. The resultant solid was triturated with ethyl acetate and filtered off to give (1aRS,7bSR)-5-[2-(4-dimethylaminobutylamino)-4-fluorobenzenesulfonylamino]-1,1a,2,7b-tetrahydrocyclopropa-[c]chromene-4-carboxylic acid (0.215 g) as a white solid.
