Sodium Hydroxide → (E)-4-(2-(1H-indazol-3-yl)vinyl)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl (E)-4-[2-(1H-indazol-3-yl)vinyl]benzoate (0.71 g, 2.54 mmol) obtained in Step 5 was dissolved in methanol (2.6 mL), and the solution-was added with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1 mol/L, 5.00 mL), followed by heating under reflux for 1.5 hours. Methanol was evaporated under reduced pressure, the pH of the residue was adjusted to 3 or below with 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid under ice-cooling. The resulting precipitates were collected by filtration to obtain (E)-4-[2-(1H-indazol-3-yl)vinyl]benzoic acid (0.70 g, quantitative yield).
