Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of [3-[3,5-dimethyl-4-(6-trifluoromethyl benzothiazole-2-yl)piperazine-1-ylmethyl]phenyl]acetic acid methyl ester (171 mg), 2N sodium hydroxide (1 mL) and methanol (2 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was neutralized with 2N hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatograph on silica gel to give the title compound (82 mg). Yield: 52%.
