Hydrochloric Acid → 3-[4-({4-[({4-[(E)-2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl}oxy)methyl]-2-methoxyphenoxy}methyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl]benzoic acid

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl 3-[4-({4-[({4-[(E)-2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl}oxy)methyl]-2-methoxyphenoxy}methyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl]benzoate (0.38 g), tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) and methanol (2 mL) was added 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (2 mL), and the mixture was heated under reflux for 1 hr. To the reaction mixture were added 1N hydrochloric acid (2 mL) and water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 3-[4-({4-[({4-[(E)-2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl}oxy)methyl]-2-methoxyphenoxy}methyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl]benzoic acid as colorless crystals (0.25 g, yield 68%) from a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (4:1, v/v). Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-hexane gave colorless prism crystals. melting point: 148-149° C.
