Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → HCID 44132073, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 2-(5-chloro-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-4′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-3-yl)-2-cyclopentylacetate (400 mg, 0.78 mmol) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.330 g, 7.87 mmol) in a MeOH/THF/Water solvent mixture (10 ml/10 ml/10 ml) was stirred for 3 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 (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were 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)-2-cyclopentylacetic acid (0.08 g). 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): 12.5 (s, 1H), 7.84 (d, 2H); 7.70 (d, 2H), 7.55 (s, 1H); 7.35 (s, 1H); 4.22 (q, 2H); 3.3.35 (d, 1H); 1.82 (m, 1H); 1.18-1.68 (m, 7H); 1.08 (m, 1H).
