Procedure
4-{3-Chloro-4-[3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-pyridin-4-yl)-propyl]-phenoxymethyl}-benzoic acid ethyl ester (250 mg) was dissolved in THF/methanol=5/1 (6 mL) followed by the addition of aqueous LiOH solution (1.0M, 0.54 mL). The mixture was heated to 50° C. for 3.5 hours. The reaction was cooled and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in water (5 mL) and aqueous HCl solution (1.0M, 0.54 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 15 minutes and then at 0° C. for 1 hour. The resulting precipitate was filtered off and washed with cold water. The residual water was removed by co-evaporation with toluene. The resulting solid was dried in vacuo. The title compound was obtained as a colorless solid (220 mg, 93%). MS (m/e)=480.1 [MH+].
