Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl ((1S)-5-{3-[(3-methyl-1-benzofuran-6-yl)oxy]propoxy}-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-yl)acetate (119 mg, 0.29 mmol) (Example 64) in THF (4.2 mL) was added a solution of LiOH.H2O (15 mg, 0.35 mmol) in water (1.4 mL). The mixture was stirred for 4 h at 45° C. and then 12 h at rt. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, water was added, and the aqueous phase was washed with a small volume of Et2O. The pH was adjusted to below 3 with HCl (1 N aqueous solution), and the aqueous phase was extracted with excess EtOAc. The combined EtOAc extracts were dried, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 24 mg (22%) of the title compound as a solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.44-7.22 (m, 2H), 7.08 (d, 1H), 6.98 (s, 1H), 6.89 (d, 1H), 6.80 (s, 1H), 6.72 (d, 1H), 4.32-4.04 (m, 4H), 3.63-3.44 (m, 1H), 2.98-2.76 (m, 3H), 2.58-2.37 (m, 2H), 2.37-2.14 (m, 5H), 1.88-1.70 (m, 1H); LC-MS: RT=3.53 min, (M+H)+ 381.1.
