2-Bromo-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethan-1-one → ethyl 1-({4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,3-thiazol-2-yl}methyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the compound (2.99 g, 14.0 mmol) obtained in Example 1b in ethanol (30 mL) was added 2-bromo-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethanone (3.74 g, 14.0 mmol), and the mixture was heated under reflux for 14 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed successively with diluted aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and saturated brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (carrier: silica gel, eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (4.90 g, 91%) as a colorless solid.
