Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-[2-(3-ethoxycarbonylpropyl)-3-oxo-2,3-dihydropyridazin-6-yl]-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (13.7 g) and sodium hydroxide (2.73 g) in a mixture of water (8.6 ml) and methanol (96 ml) was refluxed for 2 hours and then the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in water, and the aqueous solution was acidified with hydrochloric acid, and extracted with chloroform. The extract was dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was recrystallized from a mixture of ethanol and n-hexane to give 3-[2-(3-carboxypropyl)-3-oxo-2,3-dihydropyridazin-6-yl]-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (9.48 g).
