Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl 3-(4-{[4′-(2-ethoxyethoxy)-6-methoxy-2′,6′-dimethylbiphenyl-3-yl]methoxy}-2-fluorophenyl)propanoate (0.45 g, 0.86 mmol), methanol (4.5 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (9 mL) was added 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1.7 mL) at room temperature with stirring and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 2 hrs. The reaction mixture was neutralized with 1 N hydrochloric acid and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and saturated brine, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=2/1-hexane/ethyl acetate=1/2) to give the title compound (85 mg, yield 20%) as a colorless oil.
