Reaction Steps

4-amino-2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)phenol (2 g, 10.6 mmol) was dissolved in acetone (100 mL). Tert-butyl 2-bromoethylcarbamate (4.74 g, 21.2 mmol) and potassium carbonate (2.92 g, 21.2 mmol) were then added to the solution. The reaction was refluxed for 15 hours at 60° C. After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was filtered, concentrated, and dissolved in CH2Cl2. The unreacted 4-amino-2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)phenol was removed from the product through extraction with 1N NaOH. The product was purified by column chromatography (40% EtOAc/60% Hexanes) to yield tert-butyl 2-(4-amino-2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)phenoxy)ethylcarbamate (1.56 g, 4.70 mmol, 44.4%) as a white solid. LCMS m/z (%)=333 (M+H). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 1.42 (s, 9H), 3.33 (q, J=5.31 Hz, 2H), 3.55 (s, 2H), 3.74 (s, 3H), 3.90 (t, J=5.05 Hz, 2H), 4.63 (br. s., 1H), 6.22 (d, J=1.77 Hz, 1H), 6.61 (d, J=3.03 Hz, 1H), 6.73 (dd, J=8.84, 2.78 Hz, 1H), 6.84 (d, J=8.84 Hz, 1H), 7.51 (d, J=1.77 Hz, 1H).
