Reaction Steps

5-(4-Fluoro-phenyl)-3-[isopropyl-(4-methyl-cyclohex-3-enecarbo-nyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (0.140 g, 0.34 mmol) was taken in a mixture of THF:MeOH:H2O (3:2:1, 10 mL) and then added 1N aqueous solution of LiOH.H2O (2.1 mL, 2.04 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 1 h. Solvents were removed and the residue was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was acidified using 10% KHSO4 solution. The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified by preparative TLC using dicholomethane:methanol (9:1) to obtain 5-(4-Fluoro-phenyl)-3-[isopropyl-(4-methyl-cyclohex-3-enecarbonyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (compound 53) (31 mg, 23%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 7.81 (m, 2H), 7.43 (d, 1H), 7.28 (m, 2H), 5.38-5.16 (m, 1H), 4.72 (m, 1H), 2.20 (d, 2H), 1.95-1.20 (m, 8H), 1.12 (m, 3H), 0.90 (d, 3H).
