Reaction Steps

3,5-Diphenyl-4-n-propoxypyrazole (9.0 g, 0.038 mole) is dissolved in 2-propanol (90 ml). Potassium t-butoxide (4.65 g, 0.042 mole) is added at room temperature and the reaction mixture stirred and heated at 50°C for 3 hours. It is then cooled to room temperature and 3-bromoprop-1-ene (5.53 g, 0.046 mole) is added dropwise. A white solid forms. Stirring is continued at room temperature overnight, the mixture is then poured into water and extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer is washed with water (3 × 150 ml) and stripped under vacuum. The residual oil is purified by dry column chromatography (silica gel/toluene). The toluene solution is stripped under vacuum to afford 6.64 g (55%) product.
