Reaction Steps

To a solution of isopropyl 2-[4-fluoro-3-[[2-fluoro-5-(3-fluorophenyl)phenyl]methyl amino]-2,5-dimethyl-phenoxy]acetate (130 mg, 0.28 mmol, 1.0 eq) in THF (2 mL) was added LiOH (2M aqueous solution, 2 mL, 4 mmol, 14 eq) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Water was added and THF was removed under reduced pressure. The aqueous layer was washed with MTBE and the organic extract was discarded. The aqueous layer was adjusted to pH 3-4 by addition of 3M HCl and then extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was recrystallized from CH2Cl2 (1 mL) and petroleum ether (3 mL) to give the target compound as an off-white solid (85 mg, 72%).
