Methanol → 3-methoxy-4-[5-(4,4,4-trifluoro-2-methyl-butylcarbamoyl)-1H-indol-3-ylmethyl]-benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methoxy-4-[5-(4,4,4-trifluoro-2-methyl-butylcarbamoyl)-1H-indol-3-ylmethyl]-benzoic acid methylester (1.80 grams, 3.90 mmol) in 2:2:1 methanol:tetrahydrofuran:water (30 mL) was added lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.82 grams, 19.50 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred, at room temperature, for 48 hours then concentrated in vacuo. The resulting crude product was treated with 1 M hydrochloric acid (aq), and the resulting precipitate was collected via filtration to vie 3-methoxy-4-[5-(4,4,4-trifluoro-2-methyl-butylcarbamoyl)-1H-indol-3-ylmethyl]-benzoic acid (1.74 grams, 99% yield).
