Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 4-methyl-2-(5-oxo-1-(4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-4(5H)-yl)thiazole-5-carboxylate (0.16 g, 0.39 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (8 mL), and water (2 mL) was added lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.08 g, 1.99 mmol) at ambient temperature. The resulting reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 17 hours. The organic solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was neutralized to pH 4˜5 with 10% hydrochloric acid. The resulting precipitate was filtered and dried to afford the title compound in 99% yield (0.15 g): MS (ES+) m/z 385.2 (M+1).
