2-[2-Methyl-6-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-ethanol → 2-Methyl-2-(4-{2-[2-methyl-6-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-ethoxy}-naphthalen-2-yloxy)-propionic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

In analogy to the procedures described in example 4D] and 4E], 2-(4-hydroxy-naphthalen-2-yloxy)-2-methyl-propionic acid ethyl ester (example 17D]) was reacted with 2-[2-methyl-6-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-ethanol (example 4K]) to give 2-methyl-2-(4-{2-[2-methyl-6-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-ethoxy}-naphthalen-2-yloxy)-propionic acid ethyl ester, which was subsequently saponified to yield the title compound as orange solid.
