Procedure
In analogy to the procedures described in example 4D] and 4E], 2-(4-hydroxy-naphthalen-2-yloxy)-2-methyl-propionic acid ethyl ester (example 17D]) was reacted with [2-methyl-6-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-methanol (example 1I]) to give 2-methyl-2-{4-[2-methyl-6-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyridin-3-ylmethoxy]-naphthalen-2-yloxy}-propionic acid ethyl ester, which was subsequently saponified to yield the title compound as yellow solid.
