Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 178442349, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

266 mg of 4-(4-hexylphenyl)-5-(methoxymethoxy)-1-(2-methyl-1-(p-tolyl)propan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile was dissolved in 4 mL of tetrahydrofuran and 0.8 mL of methanol, mixed with 4 M hydrochloric acid in dioxane (0.70 mL, 2.8 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 14 hours. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was partly distilled off under reduced pressure, and the crystals precipitated in the reaction mixture were separated by filtration and washed with isopropyl ether. The filtrate was combined with the isopropyl ether washing and concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by intermediate pressure silica gel column chromatography (silica gel 10 g, ethyl acetate:hexane=0:100 to 20:80) to give 88.1 mg of the desired product as a white solid.
