Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-nitro-4-[6-(trans-4-trifluoromethyl-cyclohexyloxy)-naphthalen-2-yl]-pentanoic acid methyl ester (0.098 g, 0.22 mmol) in methanol (1.00 mL, Fisher) and tetrahydrofuran (1.00 mL, Acros) was added 2 M lithium hydroxide in water (1.00 mL, 2.00 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature. After 2 hours, the mixture was concentrated under vacuum. The resulting product was diluted in methylene chloride and washed with 1N HCl. The combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give the product in 99 mg yield (100%).
