Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 1-(5-chloro-4′-isopropyl-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)biphenyl-3-yl)cyclobutane carboxylate (400 mg, 0.88 mmol) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (215 mg, 5.1 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′-isopropyl-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)biphenyl-3-yl)cyclobutane carboxylic acid (289 mg) as white solid. 1HNMR (CDCl3): 7.44 (d, 2H), 7.38 (s, 1H), 7.31 (d, 2H) 7.21 (s, 1H), 3.86 (q, 2H); 2.99 (m, 1H), 2.86 (m, 2H), 2.52 (m, 2H), 2.13 (m, 1H), 1.92 (m, 1H); 1.28 (d, 6H).
