Reaction Steps

Methyl 2-((S)-6-((2′,6′-Dimethyl-4′-(((S)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)oxy)biphenyl-3-yl)methoxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetate 1d (220 mg, 0.45 mmol) was dissolved in 15 mL of methanol, followed by addition of 3 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1.5 mL, 4.50 mmol). The reaction mixture was reacted for 3 hours. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, mixed with 10 mL of water, and 1M hydrochloric acid was added dropwise to adjust the pH to 2. The resulting solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (20 mL×2). The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated sodium chloride solution (30 mL), dried with anhydrous magnesium sulphate, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound 2-((S)-6-((2′,6′-dimethyl-4′-(((S)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)oxy)biphenyl-3-yl)methoxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetic acid 1 (210 mg, yield 100%) as a white solid.
