Reaction Steps

t-Butyl 2-{3-[4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenoxy]-5-[(1S)-2-methoxy-1-methylethoxy]phenyl}-5-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole-1-carboxylate (70 mg, 0.124 mmol) synthesized in Example (38e) was dissolved in dichloromethane (1.0 mL). Trifluoroacetic acid (2.0 mL) was added dropwise with stirring under nitrogen atmosphere, and stirring was carried out at room temperature for 2 hours. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, followed by dilution with ethyl acetate (30 mL), a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution (20 mL) was added, and the solution was separated. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and subsequently dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified using silica gel column chromatography (elution solvent: ethyl acetate/hexane=30%-50%) to afford the desired compound (65 mg, yield ˜100%) as a pale yellow liquid.
