Procedimiento

To a solution of the impure 3-[4-(2-heptylamino-ethyl)-phenyl]-2,2-dimethyl-propionic acid ethyl ester (100 mg of the mixture) dissolved in methylene chloride (5 mL) cooled to −78° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere was added boron tribromide (1M in dichloromethane, 0.432 mL). The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 3 h. The mixture was cooled to −78° C. and an additional 0.432 mL of the 1M boron tribromide in dichloromethane was added. The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 20 minutes. The mixture was poured over H2O (10 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×). The organic layers were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated to a clear film. This was dissolved in dioxane/2M HCl (10 mL/10 mL) and was refluxed for 20 minutes. The mixture was cooled and brought to pH 10 with 2 N NaOH. The basic solution was washed with diethyl ether (3×) and brought to pH 4 with 2N HCL. The acidic solution was extracted with diethyl ether (3×), washed with brine (2×), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to give 3-[4-(2-heptylamino-ethyl)-phenyl]-2,2-dimethyl-propionic acid as a clear film (23 mg, 46%).
