Lithium Hydroxide → (S)-2-(tert-butoxy)-2-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-7-(2-azaspiro[4.4]nonan-2-yl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl)acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

(S)-methyl 2-(tert-butoxy)-2-(7-chloro-5-methyl-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl)acetate was dissolved in NMP (1 mL) and combined with 2-azaspiro[4.4]nonane (8.72 mg, 0.070 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (27 mg, 0.21 mmol). This mixture was stirred at rt for 24 h. A 1M lithium hydroxide solution (0.348 mL, 0.348 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture and it was heated at 50° C. for 4 h to complete the ester hydrolysis. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and purified by Biotage (4 g column, 0-10% MeOH/CH2Cl2 ramp) to give 11.1 mg (27% yield) of S)-2-(tert-butoxy)-2-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-7-(2-azaspiro[4.4]nonan-2-yl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl)acetic (1:1 solvate with NMP) as a yellow waxy solid.
