Procedure
Sodium hydroxide (1.0 M aqueous solution, 4.7 mL, 4.7 mmol, 4.0 equiv) was added to solution of ethyl(2R)-4-[3-(2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)isoxazol-5-yl]-2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)butanoate (0.47 g, 1.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in 1,4-dioxane (10 mL), and the reaction was allowed to stir overnight (18 h) at room temperature. Water (5 mL) was added, and the mixture was extracted with diethyl ether (25 mL). The aqueous phase was acidified to pH=3 with 1.0 M hydrochloric acid and then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The combined ethyl acetate phases were dried over potassium carbonate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide a light tan solid (0.42 g, 96%).
