Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → HCID 57995492, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 1-(5-chloro-4′-ethyl-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)biphenyl-3-yl)cyclobutane carboxylate (350 mg, 0.84 mmol) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (222 mg, 9.2 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 the reaction, the volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with water, acidified with 5% HCl solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×25 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water, dried with Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by Flash Column Chromatography to give 1-(5-chloro-4′-ethyl-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)biphenyl-3-yl)cyclobutane carboxylic acid (260 mg) as white solid. 1HNMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz): 7.42 (d, 2H), 7.38 (s, 1H), 7.22 (d, 2H) 7.20 (s, 1H), 3.85 (q, 2H); 2.82 (m, 2H), 2.71 (q, 2H), 2.52 (m, 2H), 2.15 (m, 1H), 1.91 (m, 1H); 1.27 (t, 3H).
