Lithium Hydroxide → 5-((5-Chloro-4-(methylamino)pyrimidin-2-yl)amino)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 100 mL round bottom flask equipped with a stir bar was added 0.964 g of methyl 5-(5-chloro-4-(methylamino)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate, 0.28 g of LiOH, 15 mL of tetrahydrofuran and 10 mL of water. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The tetrahydrofuran was removed in vacuo and the aqueous layer was acidified to pH 5 with 1N HCl. The aqueous layer was partitioned with ethyl acetate and the organic layer washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give 0.58 g of 5-(5-chloro-4-(methylamino)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid which was used without further purification.
