Procedure
To a stirred solution of 3-chloro-2-[(2R,6S)-2,6-dimethylmorpholin-4-yl]-4-fluorobenzoic acid (Intermediate 35, 10.0 g, 34.8 mmol) in methanol (50 mL) was added concentrated H2SO4 (1 mL) and the solution was refluxed for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated and diluted with EtOAc (100 mL). The organic layer washed with H2O (2×20 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography with ethyl acetate-pet. ether to give product as a solid. Yield: 9.0 g (86%)
