Hydrochloric Acid → 2-(2-Phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(2-morpholino-2-thioxoethyl)-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (5.50 g), potassium hydroxide (85%, 6.45 g) and water (44 ml) was refluxed for 14 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured onto ice (110 g) and acidified with 6N-hydrochloric acid (pH ≈2) and the resulting precipitates were collected to give 2-(2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)acetic acid (4.20 g).
