4,4,4-Trifluoro-1-(2-furanyl)-1,3-butanedione → 2-(5-Furan-2-yl-3-trifluoromethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

4,4,4-Trifluoro-1-(2-furyl)-1,3-butanedione (2.4 mL, 16 mmol) was added to 2-hydrazinobenzoic acid (3.01 g, 16 mmol) in acetic acid (20 mL) and heated at reflux for 25 h. The reaction was cooled, diluted with EtOAc, and extracted twice with water. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated to yield a thick red paste (5.71 g, >100%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ8.18 (dd, 1H, J=7.7, J′=1.8), 7.74 (td, 1H, J=7.7, J′=1.4), 7.65 (td, 1H, J=7.7, J′=1.5), 7.50 (dd, 1H, J=7.3, J′=1.1), 7.35 (m, 1H), 6.89 (s, 1H), 6.28 (m, 1H), 5.76 (d, 1H, J=3.3).
