Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-fluoro-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (2.00 g, 12.98 mmol), pyrazole (1.32 g, 19.39 mmol), and powdered K2CO3 (2.68 g, 19.39 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was heated to 120° C. for 20 h. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (200 mL), washed with water (3×200 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. Purification by chromatography (SiO2, 4:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) yielded 1.52 g (58%) of the title compound as a yellow oil. MS 203 (M+H)+.
