Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-benzaldehyde (prepared as described in J. Med Chem. 1998, 41, 2390) (1.65 g, 9.58 mmol), (1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (6.45 g, 15.02 mmol), and TDA-1 (3.20 mL, 10.00 mmol) in dichloromethane (50 mL) and sat. aq. K2CO3 (50 mL) was heated to reflux for 20 h. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (2×25 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. THF (25 mL) and 10% HCl (25 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, 3:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) provided 1.69 g (89%) of the title compound as a yellow solid. MS 199 (M+H)+.
