Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-methyl-3-(4-{3-[3-methyl-2-oxo-1-(4-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-imidazolidin-4-yl]-propyl}-phenyl)-2-phenoxy-propionic acid ethyl ester (0.062 g, 0.106 mmol) in ethanol (8 mL) is treated with aqueous 5 N NaOH (1 mL) and heated to reflux 1 h. The reaction mixture is cooled, the solvent removed in vacuo. The resultant residue is acidified with aqueous 1 N HCl (20 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer is dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent removed in vacuo to afford 0.062 g (100%) 2-methyl-3-(4-{3-[3-methyl-2-oxo-1-(4-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-imidazolidin-4-yl]-propyl}-phenyl)-2-phenoxy-propionic acid. 1H NMR. HRMS (ES+) m/z exact mass calc'd for C31H34N2O4F3 (M+1) 555.2471. Found m/z 555.2459.
