Sodium Hydroxide → [6-Chloro-1-(4-methanesulfonyl-2-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-2-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl]-acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

1M Aqueous NaOH (0.25 ml) is added to a stirring suspension of [6-chloro-1-(4-methanesulfonyl-2-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-2-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl]-acetic acid methyl ester: (0.01 g, 0.021 mmol) in 1:1 THF/MeOH (0.5 ml). The resulting suspension is sonicated and allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. The solvent is removed in vacuo and the crude solid is dissolved in water (0.5 ml) and acidified to pH 2-3 using 1 N HCl. The suspension which forms is filtered, washed with water (0.5 ml) and dried under high vacuum to yield the titled compound. (MH+ 461)
