Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-{4-[1-(4′-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl)-propoxy]-benzoylamino}-propionic acid methyl ester (0.012 g, 0.02 mmol) in methanol (1 mL) is added sodium hydroxide (5.0N, 0.02 mL, 0.12 mmol) and stirred for three hours. The mixture is acidified with 1.0 N HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate three times. Organic layers are dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure provided 0.009 g (0.019 mmol, 77%) of title compound. MS (ESI) m/z 486.2 [M+H]+.
