Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The methyl 2-(1H-indazol-5-yloxy)benzoate (960 mg, 3.58 mmol) synthesized in Example 478 was dissolved in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) and methanol (5 ml), and a 1N-aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (7 ml) was added thereto at room temperature and then stirred at 60° C. for 40 minutes. After the reaction, the reaction solution was cooled to 0° C., adjusted to pH 4 with a 2N-aqueous hydrochloric acid solution, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then concentrated to obtain 2-(1H-indazol-5-yloxy)benzoic acid (790 mg, 86%).
