Hydrochloric Acid → 3-[1-[4-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolylmethoxy)benzyl]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 3-[1-[4-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolylmethoxy)benzyl]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]propionate (1.34 g), 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (6 ml), ethanol (12 ml), and tetrahydrofuran (12 ml) was stirred at room temperature for two hours. After 1 N hydrochloric acid (6 ml) was added to the reaction mixture, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The obtained crystals were collected by filtration, 3-[1-[4-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolylmethoxy)benzyl]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]propionic acid (1.21 g, yield: 97%) was obtained. This was recrystallized from ethanol-hexane. Melting point: 124–125° C.
