Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[4-(Pyridin-4-ylmethoxy)-phenyl]-propionic acid methyl ester (0.28 g, 1.03 mmol) in THF (5 ml) and MeOH (5 ml) at room temperature is added 2 N LiOH (0.52 ml, 1.032 mmol) and the resulting solution is stirred overnight. Further 2 N LiOH (0.103 ml) is added and the reaction mixture stirred for a further 1 hour. The reaction mixture is concentrated in vacuo and the residue is diluted with water (50 ml) followed by EtOAc. The aqueous phase is acidified to pH2 with 1 N HCl, and extracted with DCM. The organic phase is concentrated to a third of its volume in vacuo until a white powder precipitates which is collected by filtration to yield the title compound; [M+H]+ 258.0
