ethyl (E)-3-(3-benzyloxy-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)propenoate → ethyl 3-(3-benzyloxy-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)propionate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl (E)-3-(3-benzyloxy-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)propenoate (2.70 g), 5% palladium-carbon (3.00 g) and tetrahydrofuran (100 ml) was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 3 hrs. Palladium-carbon was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated. The obtained crystals were collected by filtration to give ethyl 3-(3-benzyloxy-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)propionate (1.78 g, yield 89%), which was then recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane. melting point: 123–124° C.
