Reaction Steps

Ethyl 6-chloro-7-(4-(2-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenethylcarbamoyl)phenoxy)chroman-4-carboxylate (100 mg, 0.173 mmol) was diluted with tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) followed by the addition of sodium hydroxide (692 μL of a 1 M aqueous solution, 0.692 mmol) and ethanol (500 μL). After stirring for 2 hours, the reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate and 2N aqueous HCl. The layers were separated and the organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The material was purified using two 0.5 mm preparative silica gel plates eluting with 10% methanol/dichloromethane to yield 6-chloro-7-(4-(2-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenethylcarbamoyl)phenoxy)chroman-4-carboxylic acid (61 mg, 0.111 mmol, 64.1% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, D6 DMSO) δ 8.48 (t, 1H), 7.82 (d, 2H), 7.44 (s, 1H), 7.35 (d, 1H), 7.23 (m, 2H), 6.96 (d, 2H), 6.61 (s, 1H), 4.24 (m, 1H), 4.08 (m, 1H), 3.87 (s, 3H), 3.82 (t, 1H), 3.47 (q, 1H), 3.17 (d, 1H), 2.89 (t, 2H), 2.21 (m, 1H), 2.05 (m, 1H).
