Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 4-(1,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-5-propyl-2-thiophenecarboxylate (0.184 g, 0.66 mmol) in 6N sodium hydroxide (2.2 ml, 13.22 mmol) and tetrahydrofuran (6.6 ml) was stirred at 70° C. in a sealed tube for 1 h. The resulting solution was cooled and then partitioned between H2O-DCM. The aqueous phase was adjusted to pH ˜4 and then washed several times with DCM. The combined organic fractions were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated affording 4-(1,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-5-propyl-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid (180 mg, 0.66 mmol, 100% yield) as a yellow oil: LCMS (ES) m/e 265 (M+H)+.
