A solution of 60 mg (0.094 mmol) (S)-acetic acid 1-(5-{[2-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-2-methyl-propionyl]-methyl-amino}-4-o-tolyl-pyridin-2-yl)-4-oxo-pyrrolidin-2-ylmethyl ester and a catalytic amount of sodium methylate in 2 ml methanol was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and brine and extracted with three portions of dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo.
