Potassium Hydroxide → 1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution 1-[(4-methoxy)phenyl]-3-(ethoxycarbonyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-[(4-(N-pyrrolidinocarbonyl)phenyl)carboxyamide (2.05 g, 4.43 mmol) in 10 mL of THF and 10 mL of water was added potassium hydroxide (0.32 g, 5.76 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 18. The THF was removed in vacuo and the aqueous was extracted with ether to remove unreacted ester. The aqueous layer was acidified with HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organics were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to afford 1.1 g (57%) of the title compound, which was used without further purification. LRMS (ES−): 433.0 (M−H)−.
