Potassium Carbonate → Ethyl 1-(3-phenylpropyl)pyrazole-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 4-pyrazole carboxylate (3.57 mmol) in acetone (30 ml) was added potassium carbonate (35.7 mmol) and 1-bromo-3-phenylpropane (3.57 mmol). The suspension was refluxed overnight, after which the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water, the organic layer dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate evaporated under reduced pressure to give an oil, which was purified by preparative TLC, to give ethyl 1-(3-phenylpropyl)pyrazole-4-carboxylate.
