Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 4-methyl-2-[2-(5-methyl-3-pyridin-2-yl-isoxazol-4-yl)-ethyl]-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (1.62 g, 5.0 mmol) in THF (16 mL) was added a solution of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (396 mg, 9.0 mmol) in water (16 mL) followed by methanol (6 mL) and the resulting mixture stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The mixture was then evaporated to half volume and then acidified to pH 4 with HCl (1N) and cooled to 0° C. for 30 min.
