Reaction Steps

4-(1-methyl-1-{4-methyl-5-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl}ethoxy)benzoic acid (400 mg) was dissolved in methanol (12 ml), concentrated sulfuric acid (0.160 ml) was added thereto, followed by heating to reflux for 2 days. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate and was washed with a 1M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, water and saturated brine in this order. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated. The resulting solid was washed with diisopropylether to obtain methyl 4-(1-methyl-1-{4-methyl-5-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl}ethoxy)benzoate (249 mg), as a white solid.
