Procedure

1M Aqueous lithium hydroxide (18 mL) was added to solution of 4-(biphenyl-4-yloxymethyl)-5-methyl-furan-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (17) (1 g) in tetrahydrofuran/methanol (2:1 by volume, 100 mL) and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 5 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo, the residue dissolved in water (20 mL) and the solution acidified to pH6 with aqueous dilute hydrochloric acid. The mixture was evaporated to dryness and the residue was purified by HPLC to afford compound 18 as a white solid (210 mg). LC/MS System B: Rt=4.80 mins, m/z=307 ((M−1) for C19H16O4).
