Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 3-{4-[({4′-[2-(ethylsulfonyl)ethoxy]-2′,6′-dimethylbiphenyl-3-yl}methyl)amino]-2-fluorophenyl}propanoate (1.17 g, 2.05 mmol) in toluene (20 mL) was added trifluoroacetic acid (20 mL) under stirring at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, the residue was neutralized with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=2/1-hexane/ethyl acetate=1/4) to give a colorless oil. The obtained oil was diluted with ethyl acetate, and methanesulfonic acid (0.12 mL) was added. The precipitated crystals were collected by filtration, washed and dried to give the title compound (1.00 g, yield 80%) as colorless crystals.
