Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-isopropyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrazole (186 mg, 1.0 mmol), sodium hydride (60% in oil, 40 mg, 1.0 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. Methyl 3-(4-{[4-(chloromethyl)benzyl]oxy)phenyl)propanoate (318 mg, 1.00 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture at room temperature, and the mixture was further stirred for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into 1 N hydrochloric acid, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was dried using a Presep Dehydration tube (Manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=19:1-1:1) to give a yellow oil. The yellow oil was dissolved in a mixed solvent of methanol (3 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (3 mL), and 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (2 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with water, neutralized with 1 N hydrochloric acid, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was dried using a Presep Dehydration tube (Manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1-1:4) to give the title compound (254 mg, yield 56%, 2 steps) as a colorless oil.
