Reaction Steps

To 6-{3-chloro-4-[3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-pyridin-4-yl)-propyl]-phenyl}-nicotinic acid methyl ester (22 mg) aqueous 1N LiOH (5 ml), MeOH (2.5 ml) and THF (5 ml) were added. The resulting solution was stirred for 2 h at room temperature. Volatile solvents were removed in vacuo. The residual aqueous solution was diluted with water (10 ml) and washed with DCM (10 ml), then acidified to pH 6 with 1 N aqueous HCl and extracted with EtOAc. The combined EtOAc layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give the title compound (21 mg) as a yellow oil. MS (m/e)=451.0 [M+H+].
