Pyridine → ethyl 3-acetyl-1-(5-chloro-2-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 3-acetyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate (364 mg, 2.0 mmol), (5-chloro-2-methylphenyl)boronic acid (680 mg, 4.0 mmol), copper(II) acetate (571 mg, 3.0 mmol) and pyridine (0.32 mL, 4 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) was stirred at r.t. under an air atmosphere for 48 h. After removal of the insolubles by filtration, the filtrate was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated in vacuo and purified by flash chromatography (hexane/AcOEt, 90/10) to obtain ethyl 3-acetyl-1-(5-chloro-2-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate as a white solid (269 mg, 43%),
