Reaction Steps

Part B: A round bottom flask was charged with (±)-ethyl 4-(1-((5-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyrazin-2-yl)amino)butyl)benzoate (3.96 g, 8.93 mmol), MeOH (70 mL) and THF (70 mL). NaOH aq. 1M (44.6 mL) was then added in one portion and reaction stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and at 50° C. for 2 hours. Reaction mixture was cooled down to room temperature and organic solvents removed under reduced pressure. Water added to dissolve the crude solid and pH adjusted to ca. 4.5 with HCl (aq. 1N). The yellow solid formed was then recovered by filtration with a buchner funnel and dried under high vacuum to provide (±)-4-(1-((5-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyrazin-2-yl)amino)butyl)benzoic acid as a yellow solid (3.23 g, 87.1%). MS (M+1): 416.3.
