Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.131 g (0.293 mmol) of Methyl-4-[2-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-3-(pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)ethyl]phenoxybenzoate in 3 ml 1M LiOH and 10 ml ethyl alcohol was heated to reflux. After 2 hours the reaction was cooled to room temperature and acidified with 1M hydrochloric acid. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl ether, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography (gradient elution with 10% methanol/dichloromethane-10% methanol/dichloromethane with 5% acetic acid) to afford 0.101 g (79%) of 4-[2-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-3-((pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)ethyl]phenoxy benzoic acid (M+1=433).
