Acetic Acid → 2-[4-(3'-Chloro-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-[1,2']bipyrazinyl-4-ylmethyl)-pyrazol-1-yl]-ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3′-chloro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2′]bipyrazinyl (0.789 g, 4.01 mmol) and 1-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (0.562 g, 4.01 mmol) in DCE (35 mL) add sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.28 g, 6.02 mmol) and acetic acid (0.382 mL) and stir at room temperature for 20 hr. Add saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, separate the layers, extract the aqueous layer twice with DCM, dry (sodium sulfate), filter and concentrate. Purify using silica gel chromatography, eluting with 6:94 methanol (with 2N ammonia):DCM to give the title preparation as a yellow oil (1.16 g, 90%). MS (ES): m/z=323 [M+H]+.
