After completion of reaction, the volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with water, acidified with 5% HCl solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by Flash Column Chromatography to give 1-(5-chloro-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-4′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-3-yl)-cyclopentane carboxylic acid (0.05 g). 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz): 7.72 (d, 2H); 7.65 (d, 2H), 7.56 (s, 1H); 7.34 (s, 1H); 3.98 (q, 2H); 2.68 (m, 2H); 1.94 (m, 2H); 1.78 (m, 4H).
