Participants

Reaction Steps

In 2 ml of ethanol was dissolved 160 mg of ethyl 3-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxy-4-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butyrate. To the resulting solution was added 2 ml of a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution at 0°-5° C. The mixture was subjected to reaction at the same temperature for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was introduced into a mixed solvent consisting of 10 ml of ethyl acetate and 5 ml of water. The resulting solution was adjusted to pH 2.0 with 6N hydrochloric acid. The organic layer was separated, washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Thereafter, the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. Diethyl ether was added to the residue obtained, and the resulting crystals were collected by filtration to obtain 100 mg of 3-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxy-4-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butyric acid.
