Sodium Hydroxide → 4-(Benzyloxymethyl)-4-(1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)cyclohexan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(8-(benzyloxymethyl)-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazole (Reference Example 90) (458 mg, 0.872 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2.2 mL), 6 M hydrochloric acid (4.4 mL) was added, and the obtained solution was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. The reaction solution was cooled in ice and 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added dropwise thereto at 0° C. until basic. Thereafter, the resulting solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, n-hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain the captioned compound (387 mg, 0.804 mmol, 92%) as a white amorphous product,
