Hydrochloric Acid → (2E)-3-{1-benzyl-3-[(4-{[2-(2-furyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-4-yl]methoxy}-3-methoxybenzyl)oxy]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl}-2-propenoic acid

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl (2E)-3-{1-benzyl-3-[(4-{[2-(2-furyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-4-yl]methoxy}-3-methoxybenzyl)oxy]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl}-2-propenoate (1.20 g), tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) and ethanol (5 mL) was added 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (5 mL), and the mixture was heated under reflux for 3 hrs. To the reaction mixture were added 1N hydrochloric acid (5 mL) and water, and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration to give (2E)-3-{1-benzyl-3-[(4-{[2-(2-furyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-4-yl]methoxy}-3-methoxybenzyl)oxy]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl}-2-propenoic acid as colorless crystals (1.12 g, yield 98%). Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-hexane gave colorless prism crystals. melting point: 175-176° C.
