Methyl 5-formyl-1-(1-methylethyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate → HCID 89370561, compound

Temperature

-78 °C

A suspension of methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (2.69 g, 7.52 mmol) in dry THF (40 mL) was cooled to −78° C. and n-butyllithium (1.6 M solution in hexane, 3.7 mL, 5.91 mmol) was added dropwise. The yellow-orange suspension was stirred at −78° C. for 50 min and then a solution of methyl 5-formyl-1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (prepared as described in WO 2011/020615, 1.05 g, 5.37 mmol) in dry THF (10 mL) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1.75 h, the cooling bath was removed and the mixture (off-white suspension) was stirred at rt for 1 h. The mixture was then partitioned between diluted aq. NaHCO3 solution (150 mL) and EA (150 mL). The aq. layer was extracted twice with EA (50 mL each) and the combined organic layer was washed twice with water (50 mL each) and concentrated without drying to give 2.74 g of a yellow oil which slowly crystallized. The crude product was purified by CC (preadsorption with CH2Cl2, hexane/EA 4:1) to give alkene 7a (590 mg, 57%) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ: 7.02 (s, 1H), 6.87 (dd, J=17.3, 11.2 Hz, 1H), 5.94 (dd, J=17.3, 1.3 Hz, 1H), 5.45 (dd, J=11.2, 1.3 Hz, 1H), 4.80 (sept, J=6.6 Hz, 1H), 3.79 (s, 3H), 1.38 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 6H). C10H14N2O2 (194.23). LC-MS (ESI): 195 [M+H]+.
