Reaction Steps

Hydrogenate a slurry of 10% palladium on charcoal, 50% wet (with water by weight) (13 g) and 4-[[3-[3-[5-benzyloxy-2-ethyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)phenoxy]propoxy]-2-propyl-phenyl]amino]-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxo-butanoic acid (260 g, 405 mmol)) in THF (1560 mL) starting at a hydrogen pressure of 900 psi. Continue the hydrogenation 20 h while not adding additional hydrogen. Hydrogenate two additional days maintaining hydrogen pressure of 200 psi. Filter the mixture through diatomaceous earth and concentrate the filtrate in vacuo to yield the title compound (251 g, quantitative) as a solid. Excess weight is due to the presence of THF. ES/MS m/z 552 (M+1).
