Sodium borohydride → 2-(4-Bromo-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-methylpropan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2-(4-bromo-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-methylpropanoate (0.8 g, 3.06 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) was added sodium borohydride (0.348 g, 9.19 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 3 h and quenched with saturated NH4Cl solution. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography (0-100% ethyl acetate:hexanes) to afford the title compound (0.6 g, 89% yield) as a white powder. LCMS, [M+H]+=219.0.
