Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 66958955, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 1-butyl-5-[2-(propylsulfonyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (5.00 g, 15.1 mmol) in ethanol (76 mL) at ambient temperature was added 6 M aqueous sodium hydroxide (5.0 mL, 30 mmol). The solution was stirred for 2 hours, then the volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the resulting oil was dissolved in water (100 mL). The aqueous solution was washed with dichloromethane (50 mL) and then the pH was adjusted with 1 M hydrochloric acid to pH 4. A precipitate formed and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The solid was isolated by filtration, washed with water, and dried to provide 4.6 g of 1-butyl-5-[2-(propylsulfonyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid as a white powder.
