Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → 4-(5-chloro-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-4'-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-3-yl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 4-(5-chloro-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-4′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-3-yl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-carboxylate (400 mg, 0.78 mmol) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.188 g, 7.8 mmol) in a MeOH/THF/Water solvent mixture (5 ml/5 ml 5/ml) was stirred for 3 h at room temperature. After completion of reaction volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. Residue was diluted with water, acidified with 5% HCl solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). Combined organic layer was washed with water, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by Flash Column Chromatography to give 4-(5-chloro-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-4′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-3-yl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-carboxylic acid (100 mg). 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): 7.72 (d, 2H); 7.65 (d, 2H), 7.56 (s, 1H); 7.34 (s, 1H); 3.98 (q, 2H); 3.61 (t, 2H); 2.53 (dd, 2H); 1.99 (m, 2H).
