Lithium Hydroxide → [Rac]-(4-{1-[4-cyclopropyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyrimidin-5-yl]-ethoxy}-2-methyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

154 mg (0.307 mmol) of [rac]-(4-{1-[4-cyclopropyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyrimidin-5-yl]-ethoxy}-2-methyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid ethyl ester and 0.62 ml 1N LiOH in 1.6 ml THF were stirred for 2 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 and the resulting crystals were filtered off to give 125 mg of pure [rac]-(4-{1-[4-cyclopropyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyrimidin-5-yl]-ethoxy}-2-methyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid.
