Procedure
Lithium hydroxide (3.3 mg, 0.136 mmol) in water (1 ml) was added into methyl 2-[(4-{2-[(2-methyl-5-phenyl-3-furoyl)amino]ethyl}phenoxy)methyl]benzoate (32 mg, 0.068 mmol) dissolved in THF(2 ml). The mixture was then irradiated in a microwave oven (Smith Synthesizer) at 150° C. for 7 minutes and then evaporated to remove THF. The residue was acidified with 1% hydrochloric acid, pH˜4, and extracted with ethyl acetate (×2). The organic extracts were combined and washed with brine and dried with magnesium sulphate and then evaporated. Chromatography of the residue on a column (ISOLUTE® SI, 2 g/6 ml) using DCM, then MeOH/DCM (1:99 and 2:98) as eluant gave 22 mg the desired product, yield 71%.
