Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 50-mL round-bottom flask, which was purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, was added methyl 3-(4-chloro-2-(methoxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-5-yl)-4-methylbenzoate (compound 27.4, 50 mg, 0.19 mmol) and sodium hydroxide (31 mg, 0.76 mmol) in methanol/water (3 mL/3 mL). The resulting solution was stirred for 12 hours at room temperature. The pH of the solution was adjusted to 1-2 with hydrogen chloride (6 M), then concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 150 mg (crude) of the title compound as the HCl salt as white solid.
