Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-methoxy-4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzaldehyde (1.52 g, 7.52 mmol, prepared as described in Reference Example 5), (1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (4.85 g, 11.30 mmol), and TDA-1 (2.40 mL, 7.50 mmol) in dichloromethane (35 mL) and sat. aq. K2CO3 (35 mL) was heated to reflux for 18 h. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (2×20 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. THF (20 mL) and 10% HCl (20 mL) were added and the mixture was stirred for 1 h at rt. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C., made basic with 10% NaOH, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×25 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. Purification by chromatography (SiO2, 2:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) provided 1.47 g (86%) of the title compound as a yellow solid. MS 229 (M+H)+.
