3.2 – Oxazoline removal<br />

3.2.3.c Amide hydrolysis<br />

Amides 204 and 205 were stable <strong>to</strong> acid and alkaline hydrolysis. Following the<br />

pro<strong>to</strong>col of <strong>Clayden</strong>, 142 the hydrolysis of N-nitroso amides was attempted, but both<br />

nitrosation and hydrolysis proceeded slowly and in poor yield. McClure had<br />

previously hydrolysed secondary amides by conversion <strong>to</strong> the imidate and subsequent<br />

acid hydrolysis, but unfortunately it was found that the imidate could only be formed<br />

from aromatic amides. 143<br />

Table 3.10 – hydrolysis of 2-cyclohexyloxazoline<br />

Hydrolysis of cyclohexane 101m was found <strong>to</strong> proceed in a similar manner <strong>to</strong> that<br />

described by Meyers (section 3.2.1.a). Gentle heating quickly gave ester 211.HCl as<br />

the crystalline ammonium salt which could be isolated by simple filtration. Continued<br />

heating allowed amine 175 <strong>to</strong> be recovered after aqueous work up, although<br />

cyclohexanecarboxylic acid was not isolated. In light of this possible isolation<br />

problem methods for reducing the ester were studied (Scheme 3.27).<br />
