Hydrogen Peroxide → 2-(R)-(3,4-Dihydro-1H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridine-2-sulfonylmethyl)-3-methyl-butyric acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydrogen peroxide (30% aqueous, 0.15 ml) was added to a solution of 4(R)-benzyl-3-[2-(R)-(3,4-dihydro-1H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridine-2-sulfonylmethyl)-3-methyl-butanoyl]-oxazolidin-2-one (180 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) at 0° C., followed by a solution of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (30 mg) in water (3 ml). The reaction was stirred for 16 h, allowing to warm slowly to room temperature. A solution of sodium sulfite (200 mg) in water (5 ml) was added then the mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure. The aqueous residue was washed with diethyl ether (20 ml), acidified with citric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×30 ml). The combined extracts were washed with brine (30 ml), dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (110 mg) in crude form.
