Reaction Steps

4-(4-Fluoro-phenyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (2.4 g, 10 mmol) was added to an ice-cooled slurry of sodium hydride (0.82 g, 60% dispersion in mineral oil, 20 mmol) in DMF (20 ml), under argon. N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.8 ml, 10 mmol) was added followed by 2-chloro-ethyl dimethylamine.HCl (1.48 g, 10 mmol) and potassium iodide (5 mg). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h then at 80° C. for 48 h. 2N HCl and water were added and the product extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined organics were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent removed in vacuo. Chromatography (silica gel, 3-10% methanol-dichloromethane) afforded 2-(2-dimethylamino-ethyl)-4-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (900 mg) and the title compound (630 mg).
