Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl trans-4-[(1R or 1S)-1-hydroxy-1-(4-methyl-6-{[4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]amino}-2,3′-bipyridin-6′-yl)ethyl]cyclohexanecarboxylate (83 mg, 0.161 mmol) in methanol (1.5 ml) was added sodium hydroxide (1.0 M in water, 560 μl, 0.560 mmol). The mixture was then heated to a temperature of 80° C. for 60 minutes. The reaction was subsequently allowed to cool to room temperature and the pH was lowered to 5-6 by dropwise addition of hydrochloric acid (2N in water). The resulting suspension was filtered to afford trans-4-((1R or 1S)-1-hydroxy-1-(4-methyl-6-(4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-ylamino)-2,3′-bipyridin-6′-yl)ethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (52 mg, 0.104 mmol, 64.4% yield) as a colorless solid.
