Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 50 mL round-bottomed flask containing 4-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (344 mg, 1.7 mmol) in THF (17 mL), was added triethylamine (0.23 mL, 1.7 mmol) and the reaction mixture was cooled to 0° Celsius. Isobutylchloroformate (216 μL, 1.7 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0° Celsius for 30 minutes. The solids were removed by filtration, the filtrate was collected, transferred to a 25 mL round bottomed flask and sodium borohydride (95 mg, 2.5 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 10 min. The reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness and purified by FCC without additional work up to provide the title compound (120 mg, 55% yield) as a yellow oil. The compound showed very low UV activity and did not ionize by MS.
