Tetrahydrofuran → 6-(2,6-Difluoro-4-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)phenyl)-5-fluoropicolinic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The methyl 6-[2,6-difluoro-4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)phenyl]-5-fluoropyridine-2-carboxylate prepared as described in Step 5 was treated with THF (8 mL), MeOH (8 mL) and 1.0 M aq. NaOH (8 mL, 8 mmol) at room temperature for 1 h. The volatile solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was neutralized to pH around 6-7 with 1 M HCl. The precipitates were filtered, rinsed with water and dried to give the sub-title compound as a white solid (0.332 g, 20.8%). LCMS calc. for C15H13F3NO3 (M+H)+ m/z=312.1. found: 312.1.
