Lithium Hydroxide → [4-Difluoromethoxy-2-ethyl-8-fluoro-3-(4-pyrazol-1-yl-benzyl)quinolin-5-yloxy]acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of [4-difluoromethoxy-2-ethyl-8-fluoro-3-(4-pyrazol-1-ylbenzyl)quinolin-5-yloxy]acetic acid methyl ester (0.19 g) in tetrahydrofuran (5.0 mL) was treated with 1.0 M aqueous lithium hydroxide solution (0.78 ml), and the resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The tetrahydrofuran was removed under reduced pressure and the residue acidified by the addition of 0.1M aqueous hydrochloric acid. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined extracts were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, and than dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford title compound (0.18 g).
