Reaction Steps

A mixture of 129 mg of (5-chloro-1-ethyl-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-phenyl-methanone, 141 mg of 4-methoxyphenol and 33 mg of sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil) in 3 ml of anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide was stirred under nitrogen at 110° C. for 5 h. Water (8 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted three times with 10 ml of dichloromethane. The combined extracts were dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (bp 40–60° C.) (1:3) for the elution to give 100 mg of [1-ethyl-5-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]-phenyl-methanone as a yellow oil. Mass spectrum (ES) m/z 337 [M]+, 378 [M+H+CH3CN]+.
