Participants

Reaction Steps

2-[4-(5-Chloro-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)-2-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-trifluoromethylpentyl]-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (100 mg, 0.2 mmol) was dissolved in 2 mL of THF-MeOH-water (3:1:1). Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (25 mg, 0.6 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The mixture was diluted with 5 mL of water and 6 N HCl solution was used to adjust the pH to about 2. The organic was extracted with three 50 mL portions of ethyl acetate, washed with brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give the title compound (13.5 mg, 14% yield).
