Reaction Steps

Into a 25-mL round-bottom flask, was placed ethyl 3-(3,5-difluoro-4-[[1-phenyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]methoxy]phenyl)propanoate (100 mg, 0.22 mmol, 1.00 equiv), tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) and a solution of LiOH (100 mg, 4.18 mmol, 18.93 equiv) in water (1 mL). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at 25° C. in an oil bath. The reaction progress was monitored by LCMS. The resulting mixture was then concentrated under vacuum. The pH value of the solution was adjusted to pH5 with hydrogen chloride (2 mol/L). The resulting solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×5 mL) and the organic layers combined. The resulting residue was purified by Flash-Prep-HPLC with the following conditions (IntelFlash-1): Column, silica gel; mobile phase, ACN/H2O (0.05% CF3COOH)=1:1 increasing to ACN/H2O (0.05% CF3COOH)=9:1 within 10 min; Detector, UV 254 nm to yield 3-(3,5-difluoro-4-[[1-phenyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]methoxy]phenyl)propanoic acid as a white solid (22.5 mg, 23%).
