Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% dispersion in oil, 840 mg, 21.0 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of acetyl chloride (1.50 ml, 21.0 mmol) and the pyrazole of Example 76 (4.80 g, 19.4 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 ml) at 0° C. under nitrogen. The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 15 minutes and then quenched by the addition of water (200 ml). The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×120 ml). The combined organic phases were washed with water (50 ml) and brine (50 ml), dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to leave a yellow solid. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with dichloromethane to provide the title compound (5.00 g) as a white solid, m.p. <60° C.
