Participants

Reaction Steps

0.75 g (1.9 mmol) of trans-4-((S)-2-o-tolyl-chroman-6-yloxy)-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester was dissolved in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran. 94 mg (3.9 mmol) lithium hydroxide (dissolved in 2 ml of water) were added. The solution was stirred at room temperature overnight until no starting material could be detected by RP-HPLC. The solution was diluted with methyl tert-butyl ether, and 2N hydrochloric acid was added until a pH of 2. After phase separation, the organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated. The resulting product crystallized on standing to yield 0.65 g of the title compound.
