Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydroxide (2.5 N, 10 mL) was added into a mixture of (2S)-2-[4′-(2-benzyl-benzofuran-3-yl)-biphenyl-4-yloxy]-3-phenyl-propionic acid methyl ester (2.5 g, 4.65 mmol), methyl alcohol (40 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (40 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour, poured into water, acidified with HCl (2 N), and extracted with ethyl ether. The organic extracts were dried over MgSO4. Evaporation and crystallization from ethyl ether/hexanes gave a white solid (2.32 g, 95% yield): mp 167-169; MS m/e 376 (M+);
