Procedure

A mixture of ethyl 2-(5-chloro-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-4′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-3-yl)-4-methylpentanoate (0.6 g, 1.21 mmol) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.509 g, 12.1 mmol) in MeOH/THF/Water a solvent mixture (10 mL/10 mL/10 mL) was stirred for 4 h at room temperature. After completion of reaction volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with water, acidified with 5% HCl solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL). The combined organic layers washed with water, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by Flash Column Chromatography to give 2-(5-chloro-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-4′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-3-yl)-4-methyl pentanoic acid (0.4 g, 72% yield) as a white solid.
