Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl ((1S-5-{3-[4-(4-ethyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)2-propylphenoxy]propoxy}-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-yl)acetate (60 mg 0.12 mmol) (Example 147) in THF (3.0 mL) was added a solution of LiOH.H2O (20 mg, 0.48 mmol) in water (1.0 mL) and MeOH (1.0 mL), and the mixture was stirred for 12 h at rt. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was diluted with water and extracted with Et2O (3×). The aqueous phase was brought to pH 3 using HCl (1N aqueous solution), and then the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 36 mg (63%) of the title compound as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD): δ 0.96 (t, 3H), 1.34 (t, 3H), 1.59-1.71 (m, 2H), 1.73-1.81 (m, 1H), 2.25-2.38 (m, 2H), 2.39-2.47 (m, 2H), 2.62-2.98 (m, 7H), 3.44-3.57 (m, 1H), 4.20 (t, 2H), 4.26 (t, 2H), 6.75 (d, 1H), 6.84 (s, 1H), 7.02 (d, 1H), 7.07 (s, 1H), 7.14 (d, 1H), 7.71 (s, 1H), 7.78 (d, 1H); LC-MS: RT=4.04 min, (M+H)+ 480.2.
