Lithium Hydroxide → (4-{[4-Cyclopropyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyrimidin-5-ylmethyl]-methyl-amino}-2-methyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 351 mg (0.72 mmol) (4-{[4-cyclopropyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyrimidin-5-ylmethyl]-methyl-amino}-2-methyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid methyl ester and 1.45 ml 1N LiOH in 4 ml of THF was stirred for 3 h at RT. The reaction mixture was taken up in ether and washed with 1N HCl and water. The crude product was suspended in AcOEt/heptane 1:19 to give 95.64 mg of pure (4-{[4-cyclopropyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyrimidin-5-ylmethyl]-methyl-amino}-2-methyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid.
