Reaction Steps

A solution (R)-2-(2-phenylbenzoxazol-5-ylmethoxycarbonylamino)-3-phenylpropionic acid methyl ester 59 (374 mg, 0.8 mmol) in dioxane (8 ml) was treated with a solution of lithium hydroxide hydrate (55 mg, 1.3 mmol) in water (4 mL) under an atmosphere of N2 and stirred for 3 hrs at room temperature. The mixture was acidified with 1N HCl, then extracted with ethyl acetate (25 ml). The ethyl acetate extract was washed, and dried. Evaporation of the solvent afforded the product which was recrystallized to yield 220 mg (60%) of (R)-2-(2-phenylbenzoxazol-5-ylmethoxycarbonylamino)-3-phenyl propionic acid 60, mp. 220.0-221.4° C.
