Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-[6-{[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]sulfonyl}-2-(trifluoromethyl)-6,11-dihydro-5H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,5]benzodiazepin-8-yl]butanoate (153 mg, 0.242 mmol, Example 509) in 4 mL of EtOH was added a solution of 1N LiOH (2.5 ml) in water, and the solution was stirred for 48 h at rt. LC-MS showed the reaction complete. The reaction pH was adjusted to 6-7 with 1N HCl, and the mixture was concentrated. The resulting residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 and filtered to remove the salt. The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was purified by chromatography to give the title compound as a white solid; Mass Spectrum: m/e=606 (M+1).
