Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-(4-isopropyl-4H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl)-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-3-thia-1-aza-benzo[e]azulene-8-carboxylic acid methyl ester in THF (6 mL) and water (1.5 mL) was added an aqueous 1N lithium hydroxide solution (1.0 mL, 1.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 65 hours then an aqueous 1N HCl solution (2 mL) was added and the mixture was concentrated in vacuo to remove THF. A small quantity of MeOH was added to the resultant mixture and the solid was collected by filtration to give the title compound as an off-white solid (226 mg, 95%). LCMS: RT=3.88 min, [M+H]+=357
