Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4′-[2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-[(2R)-2-hydroxy-2-(3-pyridyl)ethyl]amino]ethyl]-3-(cycloheptyloxy)-4-biphenylcarboxylate (813 mg) in methanol (8.1 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (2.4 ml) was added 1N sodium hydroxide (4.14 ml) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The mixture was quenched by the addition of 1N hydrochloric acid (4.14 ml) and the solvent was removed by evaporation. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate) to give 4′-[2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)[(2R)-2-hydroxy-2-(3-pyridyl)ethyl]amino]ethyl]-3-(cycloheptyloxy)-4-biphenylcarboxylic acid (575 mg) as a white solid.
