Procedure
4-[2-[2-(4-Fluoro-phenyl)-ethylsulfanyl]-2-(2,2,2-trichloro-ethoxycarbonyl)-ethyl]-benzoic acid 2-phenyl-5-trifluoromethyl-oxazol-4-ylmethylester (289 mg, 0.41 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (30 mL) and zinc (530 mg, 8.1 mmol) was added followed by acetic acid (2.5 mL, 41.6 mmol). The resulting suspension was stirred for 6 h at ambient temperature. After filtering off and washing the zinc with MeOH and EtOAc, the combined organic layers were extracted with water, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure. The remaining crude product was purified by flash chromatography using Et2O/DCM/EtOAc 6:3:1 as the eluent to afford the title compound as a solid (yield: 24 mg, 10%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.07 (d, 2H), 7.98 (d, 2H), 7.43-7.55 (m, 3H), 7.24 (d, 2H), 7.07 (m, 2H), 6.92 (t, 2H), 5.39 (s, 2H), 3.43 (t, 1H), 3.22 (dd, 1H), 2.75-2.99 (m, 5H). Mass spectrum: M+H+ 574.14, M−H+ 572.24.
