Cesium carbonate → 1-(4-{3-[(2R)-2-methylpyrrolidin-1-yl]propoxy}phenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of (2R)-1-[3-(4-iodophenoxy)propyl]-2-methylpyrrolidine obtained in Example 1-(2) (1.60 g), 1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.779 g), (rac-trans-N,N′-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine (0.263 g), copper iodide (0.088 g) and cesium carbonate (3.02 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (2.5 mL) was stirred at 120° C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluting solvent: n-hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1) to give the titled compound (1.11 g) as a yellow oil.
