Potassium Hydroxide → HCID 73603425, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 2-(tert-butoxy)-2-[4-(3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-6-yl)-1-methyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]acetate (9h) (58 mg, 0.13 mmol) and potassium hydroxide (65 mg, 0.53 mmol) in a mixture of ethanol (1.0 mL) and water (1.0 mL) was refluxed overnight. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo. Water (2 mL) was added to the residue and the aqueous layer was washed with diethyl ether (2 mL), acidified with 1M hydrochloric acid until pH 3 and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×3 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to provide 2-(tert-butoxy)-2-[4-(3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-6-yl)-1-methyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]acetic acid (example 9) (32 mg, 0.076 mmol, 57%).
