Benzenesulfonic acid, 4-methyl-, compd. with pyridine (1:1) → 2-(4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)phenyl)-1-(5-(4-bromo-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)furan-2-yl)-2-methoxyethanone

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 1-(5-(4-bromo-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)furan-2-yl)-2-methoxy-2-(4-(1-(tris(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)phenyl)ethanone (0.10 g, 0.12 mmol) in MeOH—H2O (22 mL, 10:1) was added pyridinium para-toluenesulfonate (0.046 g, 0.16 mmol). After stirring for 18 hrs at room temperature, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 was added and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residue was diluted with a small amount of H2O then extracted with EtOAc. The combined organics were washed with H2O and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by chromatography (50-100% EtOAc-hexanes) provided 2-(4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)phenyl)-1-(5-(4-bromo-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)furan-2-yl)-2-methoxyethanone as a yellow foam (0.010 g, 17% yield). MS: m/z 497.0 [M+H]+.
