Lithium aluminum hydride → 2-ethyl-5-(4-fluoro-benzylamino)-2H-pyrazole-3-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2-ethyl-5-(4-fluoro-benzylamino)-2H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (529, 1.00 g, 3.61 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (70.0 mL) under an atmosphere of nitrogen at room temperature, lithium tetrahydroaluminate (1.00M of in tetrahydrofuran, 10.00 mL) was slowly added. The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight, followed by slowly adding sodium sulfate decahydrate (15.0 g). After 2 hours, the reaction was filtered, concentrated and purified with silica gel column chromatography eluting with 20% to 100% ethyl acetate in hexane to give a yellow oil (530, 0.16 g, 18%). MS (ESI) [M+H+]+=248.2.
