Pyrazole → 3-(1h-pyrazol-1-yl)benzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-formylphenylboronic acid (2.00 g, 13.34 mmol), pyrazole (0.46 g, 6.67 mmol), copper(II) acetate (1.82 g, 10.01 mmol), pyridine (1.10 mL, 13.34 mmol), and powdered 4A molecular sieves (2.5 g) in dichloromethane (20 mL) was stirred under an air atmosphere for 24 h. The mixture was then filtered through Celite, the filtered solids were washed with MeOH, and the combined filtrate was concentrated. Purification by chromatography (SiO2, 3:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) yielded the title compound.
