Benzyl 2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)acrylate → 2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)propanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 0.10 mg (0.093 mmol) of 10% palladium on carbon was added a solution of (0.23 g, 0.93 mmol) of benzyl 2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)acrylate prepared in step C above in 6 mL of methanol. The resulting suspension was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen (1 atmosphere) overnight. The residue was filtered through a pad of Celite® and the pad was washed with cold methanol. The combined filtrates were evaporated under reduced pressure to yield the title compound as an off-white gum (0.11 g, 76%). LC-MS: m/z (ES) 155 (MH)+.
