Trifluoroacetic acid → (S)-5-chloro-4-((5-chloro-6-((1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-yl)oxy)pyridin-3-yl)oxy)-2-fluorobenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (4.4 mL, 58.7 mmol) was added to a solution of (S)-tert-butyl 5-chloro-4-((5-chloro-6-((1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-yl)oxy)pyridin-3-yl)oxy)-2-fluorobenzoate (Preparation 298, 9.2 g, 19.6 mmol) in dichloromethane (50 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours then concentrated in vacuo. The crude was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with heptane:ethyl acetate (from 95:5 to 40:60), to provide the title compound as a white solid (6.9 g, 85%).
