反応手順

To a solution of 300 mg of 5-(5-ethoxycarbonylpent-4-enyl)-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine in 20 ml methanol is added 5 ml of 1 N sodium hydroxide. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The methanol is evaporated under reduced pressure and an additional 5 ml of water is added to the aqueous residue, which is then extracted with 3×5 ml aliquots of ethyl acetate. The basic aqueous layer is then adjusted to pH 5 and extracted with 3×5 ml portions of ethyl acetate. These extracts are dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure to yield 5-(5-carboxypent-4-enyl)-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine melting at 142°-144°.
