Trifluoroacetic acid → 4-((5,6-Dichloropyridin-3-yl)methoxy)-2,5-difluorobenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-((5,6-dichloropyridin-3-yl)methoxy)-2,5-difluorobenzoate (Preparation 13, 490 mg, 1.27 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) was added TFA (5 mL). After 30 minutes the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the resulting residue was purified by reverse phase chromatography eluting with H2O/MeCN/HCOOH (95/5/0.1 to 5/95/0.1, Biotage™ 40 g C18-silica gel) to yield the title compound (210 mg, 50%).
