Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (1.50 g) in 1,4-dioxane (30.0 mL) were added 1-(4-(chloromethyl)phenyl)-1H-pyrazole (0.76 g), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.23 g) and tripotassium phosphate trihydrate (2.10 g), and the mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 16 hr under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was allowed to be cooled to room temperature, water and ethyl acetate were added thereto, and the mixture was partitioned. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/petroleum ether) to give methyl 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-5-[4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzyl]-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (0.12 g) and 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-5-[4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzyl]-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (0.70 g).
