Sodium Hydroxide → (R)-3-{4-[3-[3-(tert-Butyldimethylsilanyloxymethyl)-4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl]-1-(4-cyclohexyl-phenyl)ureidomethyl]benzoylamino}-2-hydroxypropionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

(R)-3-{4-[3-[3-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxymethyl)-4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl]-1-(4-cyclohexyl-phenyl)ureidomethyl]benzoylamino}-2-hydroxypropionic acid methyl ester (24 mg, 0.032 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (1 mL) and sodium hydroxide (0.05 mL, 019 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours and concentrated to remove the ethanol. The residue was diluted with water (10 mL), acidified with hydrochloric acid (4 N, 0.3 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×10 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with water (3×10 mL) and dried with magnesium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo to give 17 mg of (R)-3-{4-[3-[3-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxymethyl)-4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl]-1-(4-cyclohexylphenyl)ureidomethyl]benzoylamino}-2-hydroxypropionic acid.
