Reaction Steps

To a solution of isopropyl 2-[4-fluoro-3-[[2-fluoro-5-(3-fluorophenyl)-3-methyl-phenyl]methylamino]-2-methyl-phenoxy]acetate (150 mg, 0.33 mmol) in THF (6 mL) was added NaOH (1M aqueous solution, 4.0 mL, 4.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h, then the THF removed under reduced pressure. The remaining aqueous solution was adjusted to pH 3-4 with diluted HCl and the solid that precipitated collected by filtration, washed with water and dried in vacuo to give the title compound as a white solid (100 mg, 74%).
