Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of lithium hydroxide (395 mg, 9.40 mmol) in water (20 ml) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of [3-(methyloxy)phenyl]methyl 5-bromo-2-({[3-(methyloxy)phenyl]methyl}oxy)benzoate (may be prepared as described in Description 29; 430 mg, 0.94 mmol) in THF (20 ml) over 1 min. The reaction mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 16 h. The organic phase was evaporated and the aqueous phase (20 ml) was extracted with ethyl acetate (20 ml). The aqueous phase (20 ml) was adjusted to pH 2 with 2M hydrochloric acid (1 ml). The aqueous phase was then extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 ml). The organic phase was evaporated in vacuo to yield the title compound as a light yellow solid. 275 mg.
