Trifluoroacetic acid → 4-(2-Fluorophenyl)-2-(5-phenylpyridine-3-carboxamido)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (3.0 mL) was added to the obtained tert-butyl 4-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-(5-phenylpyridine-3-carboxamido)benzoate, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour and 30 minutes. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and diisopropyl ether was added to the obtained residue. The solid substance was collected by filtration. Dioxane (3.0 mL) and a 2 mol/L aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (0.041 mL) were added to the obtained solid substance, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. A 10% aqueous solution of citric acid was added to the reaction mixture, and the solid substance was collected by filtration to obtain 36 mg of 4-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-(5-phenylpyridine-3-carboxamido)benzoic acid as a white solid.
