Reaction Steps

To a flask containing (±)-ethyl 3-(4-ethylpyridin-2-yl)-4-(7-methyl-2-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-2H-indazol-5-yl)butanoate (80 mg, 0.166 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in tetrahydrofuran (4 mL) was added lithium hydroxide (2.0 M, 0.34 mL, 4.0 equiv). The suspension was heated at 60° C. under nitrogen overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. Hydrochloric acid (1 N, 0.6 mL) was added and the solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The aqueous solution was adjusted to pH 7 with sodium hydroxide (1 N) and re-extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give a light yellow oil. MS (ESI) 454 (MH)+.
