(E)-3-{1-[5-Chloro-2-(4-chloro-benzyloxy)-benzyl]-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-YL}-acrylic acid methyl ester → 3-{1-[5-Chloro-2-(4-chloro-benzyloxy)-benzyl]-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-YL}-propionic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of unsaturated ester 6 (0.31 g, 0.65 mmol) and 5% Pt/C (0.01 g) in THF (6 mL) and MeOH (12 mL), previously purged with nitrogen, was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere (balloon) at RT overnight. The platinum was removed by filtration through Hyflo and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness to afford the saturated ester 7, 0.31 g (99%).
