Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of benzylamine dihydrochloride (1.000 g, 5.126 mmol, 1 equiv.) in anhydrous toluene (25 ml) were added successively diisopropylethylamine (1.32 ml, 10.252 mmol, 2 equiv) and dimethyl 3-oxopentanedioate (0.893 g, 5.126 mmol, 1 equiv.). The resulting mixture was heated at reflux for 18 h before being concentrated in vacuo. The resulting brown oil was purified by flash chromatography over SiO2 (CH2Cl2:MeOH, 97:3). 0.810 g of pure methyl(1-benzyl-5-hydroxy-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)acetate was obtained as a white solid. Yield 64%. MS (ESI+): 247.1; MS (ESI−): 245.1.
