Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-[6-(azetidine-1-carbonyl)pyridin-3-yl]oxy-5-[(3S)-1-methyl-2-oxo-pyrrolidin-3-yl]oxy-benzoate (Intermediate 31) (439 mg, 1.0 mmol) was dissolved in THF (6 mL) and methanol, (2 mL) and 1 N lithium hydroxide (1.24 mL) was added. Water (8 mL) was then added dropwise and the resultant solution stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. The majority of the organic solvents were removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The aqueous residue was acidified with 2N hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×40 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with water (10 mL) and brine (20 mL), dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the product (406 mg, 96%). 1H NMR δ (300 MHz, CDCl3) 2.10-2.26 (m, 2H), 2.29-2.43 (m, 2H), 2.55-2.69 (m, 1H), 2.96 (s, 3H), 3.36-3.59 (m, 4H), 4.26 (t, 2H), 4.71 (t, 2H), 4.98 (t, 1H), 6.95 (s, 1H), 7.29 (s, 3H), 7.34 (d, 2H), 7.55 (s, 1H), 8.09 (d, 1H), 8.30 (s, 1H); m/z 411 (M+H)+.
