Water → (2R)-1-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]-2-(3,4-dimethylbenzyl)-4-[[1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]methyl]piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (158 mg) and 2-bromoethanol (0.045 ml) were added to a solution of (2R)-1-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]-2-(3,4-dimethylbenzyl)-4-(4-pyrazolylmethyl)piperazine (300 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (3 ml) at room temperature with stirring. After stirring at 100° C. for 5 hours, the reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by column chromatography (30 ml) on silica gel using a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane (3:7) to give (2R)-1-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]-2-(3,4-dimethylbenzyl)-4-[[1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]methyl]piperazine (255.2 mg).
