Procedure

A mixture of tert-butyl 5-chloro-4-((2,2-dimethylchroman-7-yloxy)methyl)-2-fluorobenzoate (290 mg, 0.689 mmol) and trifluoroacetic acid (10 mL) in DCM (10 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 16 hrs. The solvents were removed and the residue was extracted with EtOAc (150×3 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by reverse phase combiflash (15%-19% MeCN in 0.5% NH4HCO3) to give target product of 5-chloro-4-((2,2-dimethylchroman-7-yloxy)methyl)-2-fluorobenzoic acid (100 mg, 49%) as a white solid. LCMS (ESI) m/z: 364.9 [M+H]+.
