Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Methanol (3.0 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (3.0 mL) were added to methyl 3-[(5-{3-fluoro-4-[4-(trifluoromethyl)-1-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1H-imidazol-2-yl]phenyl}-4-methylpyridin-2-yl)oxy]-2,2-dimethylpropanoate (660 mg), and after adding 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (4.0 mL) to the mixture, the resulting mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 2 hours. Ethyl acetate was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was neutralized by 2N hydrochloric acid. The organic layer was separated, washed with a saturated brine, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 3-[(5-{3-fluoro-4-[4-(trifluoromethyl)-1-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1H-imidazol-2-yl]phenyl}-4-methylpyridin-2-yl)oxy]-2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid (721 mg).
