Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(4-(5-cyclopropyl-3-(2,6-dichloro-phenyl)-isoxazol-4-ylmethoxy)-2-methyl-phenyl)-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (0.138 g, 0.27 mmol) in 3 mL of methanol and 3 mL of THF is added a solution of lithium hydroxide (0.06 g, 2.7 mmol) in 3 mL of water. The reaction is heated to 55° C. for 1 hour. The solvent is evaporated to give a white solid. The solid is dissolved in aqueous 1M HCl and is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The reaction is filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield the title compound. ES/MS m/e 500.0; 498.1 (M+1).
