Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl (2Z)-3-[5-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]acrylate (300 mg), methanol (5 mL) and a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (5 mL) was stirred at 60° C. for 30 min. 1N Hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction mixture and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed successively with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. Recrystallization of the residue from ethyl acetate-hexane gave (2Z)-3-[5-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]acrylic acid as crystals (220 mg, yield 78%). melting point: 205-206° C.
