Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1.13 g (2.87 mmol) of 4-(3-ethyl-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-indazol-6-yl)-cyclohex-3-ene-carboxylic acid ethyl ester dissolved in 50 mL of methanol and 15 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added 8.62 mL (8.61 mmol) of 1N sodium hydroxide and reaction mixture heated to reflux for 3 hr. After 3 hr, the reaction mixture was concentrated on a rotary evaporator, diluted with 200 mL of H2O, acidified to pH 1 with 1N HCl and extracted 2×200 mL ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were combined, washed with water, brine and dried over Na2SO4. Filtration, concentration and drying gave crude product. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane gave 0.31 grams of white crystalline product mp=214-216° C.; MS, m/z 365 (M+H+, base).
