Diisopropylethylamine → 1-(3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-methoxy-2-(4-morpholinophenyl)ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-methoxy-2-(4-morpholinophenyl)acetic acid (0.1 g, 0.42 mmol) and 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole (0.86 g, 0.42 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (4 mL) at room temperature was added diisopropylethylamine (0.22 ml, 1.26 mmol) then bromotripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (0.23 g, 0.50 mmol). After 24 hrs, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 was added. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organics were washed with H2O and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by chromatography (0-60% EtOAc-hexanes) gave 1-(3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-methoxy-2-(4-morpholinophenyl)ethanone as a white solid (0.90 g, 50% yield). MS: m/z 438.2 [M+H]+.
