Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → 2-(5-Chloro-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-4'-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-3-yl)-3-cyclopropylpropanoic acid

A mixture of ethyl 2-(5-chloro-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-4′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-3-yl)-3-cyclopropylpropanoate (0.68 g, 0.4 mmol) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (100 mg, 4.6 mmol) in a MeOH/THF/Water solvent mixture (15 ml/15 ml/15/ml) was stirred for 3 h at room temperature. 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 2-(5-Chloro-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-4′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-3-yl)-3-cyclopropylpropanoic acid in 88% yield (0.4 g). 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz): 7.72 (d, 2H); 7.65 (d, 2H), 7.43 (s, 1H); 7.24 (s, 1H); 3.98 (q, 2H); 3.72 (t, 1H); 1.94 (m, 1H), 1.78 (m, 1H); 0.71 (m, 1H), 0.46 (m, 2H), 0.02-0.19 (m, 2H).
