Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → [5-(4-{1-ethyl-1-[4-(1-hydroxy-cyclopentylethynyl)-3-methyl-phenyl]-propyl}-2-methyl-phenyl)-pyridin-2-yl]-acetic Acid Methyl Ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 1 M solution of tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran (0.0466 mL, 0.0466 mmol) was added to a solution of [5-(4-{1-ethyl-1-[3-methyl-4-(1-trimethylsilanyloxy-cyclopentylethynyl)-phenyl]-propyl}-2-methyl-phenyl)-pyridin-2-yl]-acetic acid methyl ester (Example 95-(1); 18.1 mg, 0.031 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (0.050 mL), and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was purified by silica gel chromatography (25% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (7.6 mg, 47%).
