Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 1-(5-chloro-4′-(methylthio)-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)biphenyl-3-yl)cyclobutane carboxylate (325 mg, 0.70 mmol) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (186 mg, 4.44 mmol) in 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′-(methylthio)-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)biphenyl-3-yl)cyclobutane carboxylic acid (265 mg) as a white solid. 1HNMR (CDCl3): 7.46 (d, 2H), 7.38 (s, 1H), 7.32 (d, 2H), 7.19 (s, 1H), 3.93 (q, 2H); 2.83 (m, 2H), 2.53 (s, 3H), 2.32 (m, 2H), 2.13 (m, 1H), 1.93 (m, 1H).
