Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carboxylate (61 mg, 0.17 mmol) and LiOH (9.4 mg, 0.22 mmol) were diluted with THF/H2O=1:1 (1.5 mL), and then stirred for 2 hrs at room temperature. The mixture was acidified with 1N HCl, concentrated under reduced pressure, and diluted with EtOAc and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield the crude title compound as a white solid (30 mg, 54%).
