Acetic Acid → 3'-(4-Fluorophenyl)-4-(1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-ylmethyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2']bipyrazine dihydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Combine 1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (0.17 g, 0.97 mmol) and 3′-(4-fluorophenyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2′]bipyrazinyl dihydrochloride (0.35 g, 1.06 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) and treat with triethylamine (0.30 mL, 2.12 mmol). After stirring for 15 min, add glacial acetic acid (0.08 mL, 1.46 mmol) then sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.31 g, 1.46 mmol). Stir at room temperature for 18 hr. Concentrate and purify using SCX chromatography and further purify using silica gel chromatography (5% 7 M ammonia in methanol/DCM). Dissolve the free base in methanol (5 mL) and treat with ammonium chloride (0.107 g). Concentrate the resulting solution to give the title compound (0.39 g, 81%). MS: m/z=421.3 [M+H]+.
