Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 3-bromo-1-cyclobutyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (565 mg, 2.07 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was cooled to −78° C. Diisobutylaluminum hydride (4.13 mL, 6.02 mmol, 1.5 M in toluene) was added slowly and the reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 1 hour. The reaction was then allowed to warm to room temperature and stir for an additional 2 hours. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL) and saturated aqueous Rochelle's salt (20 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was further diluted with ethyl acetate and was washed with water. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to yield the title compound (478 mg, 100%) as a colorless oil. +APCI (M+H+1) 233.1; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ): 7.40 (s, 1H), 4.62-4.71 (m, 1H), 4.51 (s, 2H), 2.39-2.59 (m, 4H), 1.74-1.92 (m, 3H).
