Participants

Reaction Steps

(5-{2-[(N-Cyclopropanecarbonyl-N-ethyl-amino)-methyl]-4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl}-pyridin-3-yl)-acetic acid methyl ester (0.069 g, 0.16 mmol) was dissolved in THF (1 mL) and MeOH (0.8 mL) and treated with 1N aqueous NaOH (0.5 mL). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was neutralized with 1N aqueous HCl and extracted twice with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give Compound 8.
