Hydrochloric Acid → 1-(2-Benzyloxy-5-bromo-benzyl)-5-Trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.114 g, 0.55 mmol) and 1-benzyloxy-4-bromo-2-bromomethyl-benzene (0.196 g, 0.55 mmol) in DMF (2 ml) cooled at RT under N2 atmosphere was added K2CO3 (0.19 g, 1.375 mmol) The mixture was stirred at RT overnight, then acidified with HCl (2M, aq.) and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by MPLC (10 g SiO2 cartridge, eluent 90% iso-hexane-10% EtOAc) yielding 0.18 g of title compound.
