Benzyl Bromide → HCID 57907595, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 60.0 g (236 mmol) of 4-[1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]butanoic acid from step C above in 400 mL of DMF was added 48.9 g (354 mmol) of potassium carbonate followed by dropwise addition of 40.0 mL (300 mmol) of benzyl bromide. The resulting mixture was stirred for 24 h, quenched with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×300 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 30% ethyl acetate in hexanes to afford the title compound as a yellow oil (55.6 g. 68.4%). LC-MS: m/z (ES) 345 (MH)+.
