Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-Isopropyl-5-methoxy-2-(toluene4-sulfonyl)4-trifluoromethyl-benzene (0.40 g, 1.03 mmol) and NaOH (0.5 g, 12.5 mmol) in MeOH(5ml) and H2O (5ml) was heated at 90° C. for 2 hrs. The cooled reaction mixture was acidified with 3N HCl and extracted into methylene chloride. The combined extracts was dried with Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give desired 2-Isopropyl-4-methoxy-5-trifluoromethyl-phenol (0.194 g, 81%) as an oil.
