Reaction Steps

To a solution of [3-(5-bromo-pyridin-3-yl)-phenyl]-acetic acid (Intermediate 94) (1 eq, 4.1 mmol, 1.2 g) in THF (15 ml) is added thionyl chloride (1.5 eq, 6.16 mmol, 0.45 ml), and the resulting mixture is stirred for 30 min at r.t. Then MeOH (3 eq, 12.3 mmol, 0.5 ml) is added and stirring is continued for another 20 h. Addition of 10% aqueous NaHCO3 solution is followed by extraction with EtOAc. The organic layer is dried with MgSO4, filtered, and the solvents are removed in vacuo. Purification or the crude mixture by column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc) gives the title compound; [M+H]+=306/308.
