Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 130 mg (0.254 mmol) 2,5-dichloro-4-[5-(4-cyclopropyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-quinoxaline-1-carbonyl)-2-methyl-pyridin-4-yloxy]-benzoic acid methyl ester (Example 65) in 2 mL dioxane was added 2 mL water and 13 mg (0.317 mmol) lithium hydroxide monohydrate. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours and then poured on 20 mL 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid and 20 mL ethyl acetate The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with 20 mL ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with 30 mL brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum to give 125 mg (98.9%) of the title compound as a light yellow solid. MS (ESI): m/z=498.098 [M+H]+.
