Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-4-(1-triazolyl)phenylacetate (0.54 g, 1.7 mmol) from Step 2 above in THF (10 mL) and water (2.5 mL) was added LiOH.H2O (0.11 g, 2.6 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 14 h. The solution was adjusted to pH 2 by the addition of 5 N aqueous HCl and the solvents were removed under reduced pressure to give 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-4-(1-triazolyl)phenylacetic acid was obtained as a gum (HPLC retention time=6.0 min (method A)).
