Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl [3-[3-methoxy-4-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolylmethoxy)benzyloxy]-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]acetate (544 mg), 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (3 ml), tetrahydrofuran (6 ml) and ethanol (6 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 2 hrs. 1N Hydrochloric acid (3 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The obtained colorless crystals were collected by filtration to give [3-[3-methoxy-4-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolylmethoxy)benzyloxy]-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]acetic acid (482 mg, yield 91%), which was then recrystallized from acetone-hexane. melting point: 153–154° C.
