Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-(6-((6-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-5-(2-fluoro-5-methoxyphenyl)pyridin-2-yl)methoxy)-5-fluoropyrimidin-4-yl)propanoate (300 mg) in methanol (2.0 mL) and THF (4.0 mL) were added water (2.0 mL) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (123 mg), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by preparative HPLC to give the title compound (30 mg) as a pale-yellow solid.
