Reaction Steps

Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate (65.2 mg, 1.55 mmol) in water (0.7 mL) was added to a solution of methyl 3-(difluoromethyl)-5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]benzoate (45 mg, 0.13 mmol, from Step C) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL). Upon stirring for 3.5 hours, the mixture was treated with 1N HCl to adjust the pH to 7, then THF was removed by rotary evaporation. Acetonitrile was added to make a 1:1 ACN:water mixture, the mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was purified via preparative HPLC-MS (C18 eluting with a gradient of MeCN/H2O containing 0.15% NH4OH) to afford product as a white solid (0.030 g, 100%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 7.95 (s, 2H), 7.50 (s, 1H), 7.05 (t, 1H), 3.44 (s, 2H), 2.15 (s, 6H); LCMS (M+H)+: 230.1.
