Reaction Steps

A solution (S)-ethyl 2-tert-butoxy-2-(1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-6-(pyridin-4-yl)naphthalen-2-yl)acetate (0.043 g, 0.088 mmol) in THF/MeOH/H2O (1 mL each) was treated with LiOH.H2O (0.025 g, 0.59 mmol) and heated to 50° C. overnight. The resulting solution was diluted with DMF and purified by preparatory reverse phase HPLC (Gemini column, 15 to 100% MeCN/H2O, 0.1% TFA). Lyophilization of appropriate fractions afforded 0.021 g of 53 as an off-white amorphous powder. 1H-NMR: 400 MHz, (CD3CN) δ: 8.77 (br s, 2H); 8.37 (br s, 1H); 8.17 (br s, 2H); 7.91 (s, 1H); 7.76 (dd, J=8.8, 2.4 Hz, 1H); 7.62-7.54 (m, 3H); 7.46 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H); 7.38 (br d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H); 5.25 (s, 1H); 2.61 (s, 3H); 0.99 (s, 9H). LCMS-ESI− (m/z): [2M−H]− calcd for C56H51Cl2N2O6: 917.31; found: 917.51.
