Reaction Steps

Methyl 2-((S)-6-((3′-fluoro-2′,6′-dimethyl-4′-(((S)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)oxy) biphenyl-3-yl)methoxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetate 19d (150 mg, 0.30 mmol) was dissolved in 4 mL of a mixture of the solvents of methanol and tetrahydrofuran (V/V=1:1), followed by addition of 1M aqueous lithium hydroxide solution (1.5 mL, 1.50 mmol). The reaction solution was stirred for 2 hours. The resulting solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, mixed with 10 mL of water, 1M hydrochloric acid was added dropwise to adjust the pH to 2˜3, and 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, and the residue was purified by TLC with elution system A to obtain the title compound 2-((S)-6-((3′-fluoro-2′,6′-dimethyl-4′-(((S)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)oxy)biphenyl-3-yl)methoxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetic acid 19 (85 mg, yield 57.8%) as a white solid.
