Triethylamine → N-(4-(phenylethynyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Nitrogen was bubbled through a suspension of N-(4-iodo-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)acetamide (30 g, 120 mmol), 10% palladium on carbon (50% water, 7.4 g, 3 mmol), copper(I) iodide (1.14 g, 6 mmol), triphenylphosphine (6.3 g, 24 mmol) and triethylamine (50 mL, 360 mmol) in ethanol (600 mL) for 20 min. Phenyl acetylene was added and nitrogen bubbled through the mixture for a further 25 min. The reaction mixture was then heated and stirred under reflux conditions in an atmosphere of nitrogen for 3 d and cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, iso-hexanes/ethyl acetate 9:1 to 0:1) yielding the title compound as a solid (17.6 g).
