Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (4-((4-chloro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)methanol (0.375 g, 1.68 mmol) in methylene chloride (7 mL) at 0° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere was treated with PBr3 (0.456 g, 1.68 mmol) and the mixture was warmed to rt and stirred for 1 h. After this time, the mixture was diluted with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and ice and then extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica, hexanes/dichloromethane) to afford the title compound (0.342 g, 91%) as a white solid. MW=285.57. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) δ 7.46 (s, 1H), 7.38 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.35 (s, 1H), 7.19 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 5.24 (s, 2H), 4.47 (s, 2H).
