Reaction Steps

A suspension of (1S,4R)-N-(4-chloro-2-((S)-4-cyclopropyl-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-hydroxybut-3-yn-2-yl)phenyl)-4,7,7-trimethyl-3-oxo-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-1-carboxamide (10, 1 g, 2.13 mmol) and 40% NaOH aqueous solution (20 mL) was stirred at 90-95° C. for 20 hours. Toluene (20 mL) was added and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with water (20 mL) and evaporated to dryness to give (S)-4-chloro-2-(4-cyclopropyl-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-hydroxybut-3-yn-2-yl)aniline (8). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.54 (s, 1H), 7.12 (dd, J=8.5, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 6.62 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 4.47 (br. s, 3H), 1.44-1.35 (m, 1H), 0.93-0.88 (m, 2H), 0.83-0.80 (m, 2H).
