Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-(4-hydroxy-3-(2-methyl-2H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenyl)acetamide (1.16 g, 5.00 mmol), cesium carbonate (3.26 g, 10.00 mmol), and 2-bromoethyl methyl ether (0.666 mL, 7.00 mmol) in 10 mL of DMF was heated to 110° C. for 15 minutes under microwave irradiation in a heavy-walled sealed tube. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was taken up in water and extracted three times with dichloromethane. The combined extracts were dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to dryness to afford the title compound (1.23 g, 85.0% yield) as a tan solid which was used without further purification.
