[2-Methoxy-6-(2-methoxy-4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-5-methyl-pyridin-3-yl]-hydrazine → 3-(3,5-Diethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-methoxy-6-(2-methoxy-4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-5-methyl-pyridine

Reaction Steps

Preparation of 3-(3,5-Diethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-methoxy-6-(2-methoxy-4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-5-methyl-pyridine 3,5-heptane dione (0.32 ml, 2.33 mmol) is added to a solution of [2-methoxy-6-(2-methoxy-4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-5-methyl-pyridin-3-yl]-hydrazine (0.8 g, 2.33 mmol) in EtOH (15 ml) at room temperature. The mixture is refluxed for 15 hours. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the residue is purified by flash column chromatography to obtain 3-(3,5-Diethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-methoxy-6-(2-methoxy-4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-5-methyl-pyridine (Compound 4). Rf(hexane/EtOAc=9:1)=0.18, MS m/z 436.4 (M+H).
