Potassium Carbonate → 2-{[5-amino-1-methyl-4-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]oxy}ethyl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 5-amino-1-methyl-4-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-ol (Preparation 3a) (250 mg) in dimethyl formamide (5 ml) at room temperature was added potassium carbonate (510 mg) and 2-bromoethyl acetate (205 mg), the mixture was stirred for 16 hrs. The reaction was diluted with water (60 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×30 ml). The organic fractions were combined, washed with water (2×30 ml) and brine (30 ml) and dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica, 30 g) eluted with ethyl acetate:hexane (1:1) to yield the title compound as a white solid (151 mg).
