Participants

Reaction Steps

In analogy to Example 230, 3-chloro-4-[3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-1-methyl-2-(3-methyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-benzooxazol-5-yl)-propyl]-benzoic acid methyl ester (1.05 g) was saponified with LiOH solution (1M, 6.12 mL) in THF (15 mL) to give the title compound 3-chloro-4-[3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-1-methyl-2-(3-methyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-benzooxazol-5-yl)-propyl]-benzoic acid as an off-white foam (0.47 g). MS (m/e, ISP neg. ion)=428.3 [M−H+].
