Procedure
630 mg (1.88 mmol) of ethyl rac-2-[3-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-cyclopropyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]-propionate from Example 85A are placed in 8 ml methanol, treated with 4 ml 20% aqueous potassium hydroxide and stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. The methanol is removed in vacuo, the aqueous residue acidified with 2 N hydrochloric acid, extracted with dichloromethane, and the organic phase dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated in vacuo. 463 mg (80% of theory) of the target compound are thus obtained.
