Participants

Reaction Steps

To tert-butyl 3-[2-(acetyloxy)ethoxy]-5-({[4-(tert-butyl)phenyl]sulfonyl}amino)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (Preparation 9) (1.48 g) in dichloromethane (20 ml) was added trifluoroacetic acid (10 ml), at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 hours and then refluxed for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was then diluted with a saturated solution of aqueous ammonium chloride (20 ml), and the aqueous was then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 ml). The organics were dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by chromatography on a suction column packed with silica eluted with ethyl acetate:hexane (3:5) to yield the desired product as an off white solid (200 mg).
