Ethanol → [4-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenyl]methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of [4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]boronic acid (4.46 g), 1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl trifluoromethanesulfonate (4.50 g), cesium carbonate (19.1 g) and [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) dichloromethane adduct (0.80 g) in toluene (15.0 mL)-ethanol (1.00 mL)-water (1.00 mL) was subjected to microwave irradiation at 150° C. for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and the insoluble substance was removed by filtration. The filtrate was washed successively with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (1.00 g).
