Procedure

To a solution of 2-(4-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridyloxy)propionic acid (Step A, 15 g, 55 mol) in 100 mL CH2Cl2 and 100 mL MeOH at 0° C. was added trimethylsilydiazomethane (2 M solution in hexane) until a yellow color persisted. After stirring at room temperature for 15 min, the reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluted with 0 to 10% EtOAc in hexane to give methyl 2-(4-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridyloxy)propionate (10 g), which was used immediately for methylation following the procedure described in Reference Example 39, Step B substituting ethyl iodide with methyl iodide. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD): δ 8.25 (d, 1H), 7.18 (d, 1H), 7.15 (s, 1H), 3.65 (s, 3H), 1.65 (s, 6H).
