Potassium Carbonate → 4-(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl)-1,3-dimethyl-5-[2-(N-methylanilino)ethoxy]pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.85 g of 4-(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl)-1,3-dimethyl-5-hydroxypyrazole was dissolved in 50 ml of acetonitrile, and 1.38 g of potassium carbonate (anydrous) was added thereto. The resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, 2.14 g of β-bromoethyl-N-methylaniline was added, and the mixture heated for 3 hours under reflux. After cooling, crystals were filtered off. The filtrate was distilled under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (eluent, benzene:ethyl acetate at 8:1) to give 3.82 g of the desired product, Compound 2, having nD24 1.5975 (yield 91.4%).
