Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-[2-(4-methylsulfonyl-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-3-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yl)-propionylamino]-nicotinic acid methyl ester (prepared as in Example 15, 21 mg, 0.04 mmol) in methanol (0.40 mL) was treated with a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (0.20 mL, 0.20 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with water and concentrated in vacuo to remove methanol. The resulting aqueous residue was acidified to pH=2 with a 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford pure 6-[2-(4-methylsulfonyl-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-3-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yl)-propionylamino]-nicotinic acid (15 mg, 75%) as a colorless gum: EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C22H23F3O6S (M+H)+ 501.1302, found 501.1305.
