Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 53959123, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (1-[3-(2-Phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)acryloyl]-2-ethoxycarbonylpiperidine (trans isomer) (0.50 g) and 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (5 ml) in methanol (5 ml) was refluxed for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated to remove methanol, neutralized with 10% hydrochloric acid and extracted with chloroform. The extract was washed with saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (20 g) with chloroform as an eluent. The fractions containing the objective compound were combined and evaporated in vacuo to give 1-[3-(2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)acryloyl]piperidine-2-carboxylic acid (trans isomer) (0.26 g) as an oil.
