Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-chloro-6-{(3R)-3-methyl-4-[6-trifluoromethyl-4-(3,4,5-trifluoro-phenyl)-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl]-piperazin-1-yl}-nicotinic acid methyl ester (58 mg, 0.1 mmol, Example 178c) and 1N NaOH (0.11 mL) in THF (1 mL) was stirred at 50° C. for 16 h. 1N HCl (0.11 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×20 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (5 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography, eluting with 10% MeOH/EtOAc to give the title compound as a white amorphous solid. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/e: 570 (M+1).
