Participants

Reaction Steps

{4-[3-Cyclohexylmethoxy-5-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenylethynyl)-phenylsulfanyl]-2-methyl-phenoxy}-acetic acid ethyl ester (120 mg; 0.202 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (50 mL), and aqueous 1 N sodium hydroxide (2 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min, acidified with 1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase was dried and evaporated to dryness. Yield: 90 mg. HPLC-MS: m/z: 565.3 (M+H)+; Rt: 2.81 min.
