Reaction Steps

In analogy to the procedure described in example 101A], 2-(3-fluoro-4-hydroxy-phenoxy)-2-methyl-propionic acid ethyl ester was reacted with 5-chloromethyl-4-cyclopropyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyrimidine (example 27F]) in the presence of catalytic amount of sodium iodide to give 2-{4-[4-cyclopropyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyrimidin-5-ylmethoxy]-3-fluoro-phenoxy}-2-methyl-propionic acid ethyl ester, which was subsequently saponified in analogy to the procedure described in example 101B] to yield the title compound as white crystals of mp. 177.5–178.0° C.
