Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl 2-((4S,5S)-1-(2-bromo-4-(((3R,4R)-1-(5-chloro-2-methoxypyridin-4-yl)-3-methylpiperidin-4-yl)oxy)phenyl)-4-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)acetate (6.5 mg, 10.25 μmol) in THF (0.5 mL) and water (0.04 mL) at rt was added 1.0M aqueous lithium hydroxide (0.04 mL, 0.040 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt for 13.5 h and then partially evaporated to remove most of the THF. The remaining solution was partitioned between water (40 mL) and Hex (15 mL). The aqueous layer was acidified to pH 2 by dropwise addition of 1M HCl, and then extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×30 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue was dried under vacuum to afford 2-((4S,5S)-1-(2-bromo-4-(((3R,4R)-1-(5-chloro-2-methoxypyridin-4-yl)-3-methylpiperidin-4-yl)oxy)phenyl)-4-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)acetic acid (6 mg, 89% yield) as a white solid: LC-MS [M+H] 619, 621. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD2Cl2) δ 7.96 (s, 1H), 7.21 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.19 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 6.91 (dd, J=8.8, 2.8 Hz, 1H), 6.29 (s, 1H), 4.63 (m, 1H), 3.99 (dt, J=4.1, 8.8 Hz, 1H), 3.86 (s, 3H), 3.52 (m, 2H), 3.27 (m, 1H), 2.89 (m, 1H), 2.66 (dd, J=12.2, 9.3 Hz, 1H), 2.41 (m, 2H), 2.18 (m, 2H), 1.79 (m, 1H), 1.41 (d, J=7.1 Hz, 3H), 1.10 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 3H). Analytical HPLC (Zorbax method, 0% Solvent B start): RT=8.69 min, HI: 97%. hGPR40 EC50=844 nM.
