Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of N—[[4-[5-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-3-isoxazolyl]-1-naphthalenyl]carbonyl]glycine methyl ester (i.e. the title product of Step A) (620 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was added an aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide (300 mg in 5 mL of water). After stirring at room temperature for 1 h, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with hexane. The aqueous layer was acidified with 6.0 N HCl to pH=2, causing a white precipitate to form. The aqueous mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated to afford the title compound as a white solid (600 mg, 99% yield).
