Reaction Steps

To a suspension of methyl 4-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-(2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylate (250 mg, 0.649 mmol) obtained above in THF (5 mL) and MeOH (5 mL), was added 2N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (1 mL) and the mixture was stirred for 2 h at 60° C. To the mixture, was added a 2:1 mixture of EtOAc and THF (60 mL) and 1N hydrochloric acid. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with a 2:1 mixture of EtOAc and THF (10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (5 mL) and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Insoluble materials were removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain title compound (225 mg, 93%) as a pale yellow solid.
