Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 6-chloro-2-fluoro-3-(pivalamidomethyl)benzoate (Intermediate-2; step-2, 1.00 g, 3.31 mmol) in THF:MeOH:H2O (2:2:1; 5 mL) was added KOH (930 mg, 16.57 mmol). The reaction mass was heated in a sealed tube at 100° C. for 3 h. The reaction mass was neutralized with citric acid and concentrated. The residue was diluted with EtOAc and was washed with water and brine. The organic layer was separated, dried, filtered and concentrated to afford 700 mg of the title product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 13.65 (br s, 1H), 8.08 (t, 1H), 7.29-7.26 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.22-7.19 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 4.25 (d, J=5.7 Hz, 2H), 3.79 (s, 3H), 1.13 (s, 9H); MS (m/z): 300.05 (M+H)+.
