Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4.3 (0.0241 g, 0.0521 mmol) in THF/MeOH (2/1) (1.5 mL) was added LiOH (0.50 mL, 0.500 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred overnight at 23° C., quenched with excess 1N HCl, and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The crude residue was purified by combiflash (0 to 40% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford 4 (0.0166 g, 71.0% yield). MS ESI (neg.) m/e: 393.1 (M−H)+. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.32 (1H, s), 7.20-7.29 (4H, m), 6.83-6.92 (5H, m), 6.74 (1H, d, J=2.9 Hz), 5.07 (2H, s), 3.83 (2H, t, J=6.6 Hz), 3.79 (3H, s), 2.97 (2H, t, J=7.8 Hz), 2.68-2.73 (2H, m), 2.19 (3H, s), 1.53-1.60 (2H, m), 1.22-1.31 (2H, m), 0.83 (3H, t, J=7.3 Hz).
