Reaction Steps

The ester, methyl 2-(3-((5-cyclopropyl-3-(2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)isoxazol-4-yl)methoxy)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-yl)-4-methoxybenzo[d]thiazole-6-carboxylate (161 mg, 0.26 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) and ethanol (1 mL) and subjected to an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide (100 mg, 2.5 mmol in 2 mL water). The mixture was heated to 60° C. for 2 hr and then the solvent was removed in vacuo. The mixture was diluted with 5% aqueous citric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The organics were dried (MgSO4) then evaporated in vacuo. The product was purified by flash silica chromatography with a gradient of 0-100% ethyl acetate/hexanes to give 2-(3-((5-cyclopropyl-3-(2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)isoxazol-4-yl)methoxy)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-yl)-4-methoxybenzo[d]thiazole-6-carboxylic acid.
