Reaction Steps

To a solution of Ethyl 4-(3-(2-Fluoro-6-methylbenzyloxy)phenyl)-4-oxobutyrate (Step D, 8.56 g, 24.9 mmol) in abs ethanol (100 ml) was added 1N NaOH (40 ml) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours, acidified with 1M HCl and concentrated. The residue was taken in chloroform and washed with 0.1 M HCl, brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The purification was done by flash chromatography on silica gel column (chloroform:methanol 95:5 spiked with acetic acid) to provide the title compound as white solid.
