Mode opératoire

A 500 ml round-bottomed flask was charged with methanol (200 ml) and 1 N NaOH (194 ml, 194 mmol, approximately 1.36 equivalents relative to input dichloro-(3-hydroxy-adamantan-1-yl)-acetic acid methyl ester (Formula VIII)). The resulting solution was cooled in an ice bath until the temperature was <9° C. The cold bath was removed and dichloro-(3-hydroxy-adamantan-1-yl)-acetic acid methyl ester (Formula VIII)(41.68 g, 142.1 mmol) was added. The resulting suspension was allowed to stir at ambient temperature under argon. After stirring for approximately 6 hours, an additional portion of methanol (10 ml) was used to rinse down the vessel walls. After stirring for approximately 17 hours, the reaction mixture was filtered to remove a small amount of particulate material. The resulting solution was transferred to a 2-liter three-necked flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer. Water (900 ml) was used to dilute the reaction mixture and to compete the transfer. The resulting solution was acidified by the addition of concentrated HCl (38 ml, approximately 456 mmol). A white solid quickly formed. The mixture was gently stirred for approximately 20 minutes and then placed in an ice bath. After gently stirring for approximately 90 minutes, the stirrer was stopped and the mixture was allowed to stand in the ice bath for an additional 2 hours. The resulting suspension was filtered and the filtercake was washed with ice cold water. The bulk of the water was removed from the solid by pulling air through the filtercake. The material was then dried under vacuum at ambient temperature for 22 hours to give dichloro-(3-hydroxy-adamantan-1-yl)-acetic acid (Formula IX) as a colorless powdery solid: 39.19 grams (98.7% yield); mp 238° C. (dec).
