Lithium Hydroxide → {8-Chloro-4-difluoromethoxy-3-[4-(2,2-dimethylpropionyl)benzyl]-2-ethylquinolin-5-yloxy}acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of {8-chloro-4-difluoromethoxy-3-[4-(2,2-dimethylpropionyl)benzyl]-2-ethylquinolin-5-yloxy}acetic acid methyl ester (0.071 g) in tetrahydrofuran (5.0 mL) was treated with 1.0 M aqueous lithium hydroxide solution (0.28 mL), and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was concentrated to low bulk under reduced pressure, acidified by the addition of 0.1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by preparative reverse-phase HPLC gave title compound as a yellow solid (0.040 g).
