Participants

Reaction Steps

Under argon atmosphere, a solution of 3-(2,5-dimethylpyrrol-1-yl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole (599 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (4 ml) was cooled to −78° C., n-butyllithium (1.8 ml, 1.6M solution in n-hexane) was added dropwise thereto, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. To this reaction solution was added dropwise a solution of iodine (715 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (2 ml), the mixture was stirred for additional 30 minutes. To this reaction mixture was added a saturated aqueous solution of sodium sulfite, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The resulting organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. To the resulting solid residue was added a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate/n-hexane (=1/5), and the mixture was stirred. A solid was collected from this suspension by filtration, dried under reduced pressure to give the titled compound (625 mg).
