Methylhydrazine → (S)-t-Butyl 2-(5-((3,4-dimethoxyphenoxy)methyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an EtOH (5.0 mL) solution of the compound (390 mg) obtained in Example 13-(1), methylhydrazine (106 μL) and sodium acetate (246 mg) were added and the mixture was heated under reflux for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated and a saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl (50 mL) was added to separate the organic layer, which was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to give a crude product, which was further purified by neutral silica gel chromatography (AcOEt/hexane) to give the titled compound (378 mg, pale brown oil.)
