Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Methanol (1.5 mL), dioxane (1.5 mL), and a 2 mol/L aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (0.24 mL) were added the obtained tert-butyl 4-(1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-2-(5-phenylpyridine-3-carboxamido)benzoate (71 mg), followed by stirring at 50 to 55° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and then a 10% aqueous solution of citric acid was added thereto. The solid substance was collected by filtration to obtain 50 mg of 4-(1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-2-(5-phenylpyridine-3-carboxamido)benzoic acid as a white solid.
