Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 5-(bromomethyl)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (1.3 g, 3.6 mmol) and 1H-pyrazole (0.25 g, 3.6 mmol) in THF (50 mL) and H2O (1 mL) cooled in an ice-water bath is added solid KOH (0.2 g, 3.6 mmol) in three portions. After the reaction mixture is stirred at RT overnight, the solvent is removed. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with PE:EtOAc (4:1) to give the product (0.87 g, 70% yield). MS (m/z): 345.1 (M+H).
