Reaction Steps

(−) or (+)-methyl 2-(1-(5-cyano-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(5-methoxy-7-methyl-1H-indol-4-yl)ethoxy)acetate (tr=3.5 min—from Example 35-B) (110 mg, 0.233 mmol) was dissolved in THF (1.2 mL) and MeOH (1.2 mL). A 3N aq. NaOH solution (0.45 mL, 1.35 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred at 40° C. for 1 hour. At this point the reaction mixture was concentrated. The residue was dissolved in MeOH, and purified with RP-HPLC(HC-A) to provide (+)-2-(1-(5-cyano-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(5-methoxy-7-methyl-1H-indol-4-yl)ethoxy)acetic acid.
