Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 375 mg of ethyl 3-(2-(3-(2-ethyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-benzyloxyphenoxy)propoxy)phenyl)propionate in 25 ml of ethanol was mixed with 5 ml of 5.0N sodium hydroxide and stirred 16 hours. The mixture was diluted with 1.0N hydrochloric acid and extracted with 3:1 dichloromethane/isopropanol. The organic phase was washed with saturated sodium chloride, dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo providing the desired 3-(2-(3-(2-ethyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-hydroxyphenoxy)propoxy)phenyl)propionic acid in 93% yield.
