Hydrochloric Acid → 2-[3-(3-chloro-4-methyl-2-thienyl)-4-isobutyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]-acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

700 mg (1.96 mmol) of ethyl 2-[3-(3-chloro-4-methyl-2-thienyl)-4-isobutyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]-acetate from Example 248A are placed in 10 ml methanol and treated with 1 ml of 20% aqueous potassium hydroxide. This is stirred overnight at room temperature, the reaction mixture is then adjusted to pH 6 with 1 N hydrochloric acid and directly purified by preparative HPLC [Method 12]. 555 mg (86% of theory) of the target compound are thus obtained.
