Description

Ethyl 2-(4-Methoxybenzyl)-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (8): Diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (4) (8.030 g, 7.510 mL, 37.10 mmol, 1.00 equiv) was added with stirring to K2CO3 (5.128 g, 37.10 mmol, 1.00 equiv) and PMB-hydrazine hydrochloride 7 (7.000 g, 37.10 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in H2O (180 mL). After heating at 100 °C for 18 h, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with EtOAc (40 mL). The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was further extracted with EtOAc (2 × 30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with aqueous NaOH (2 M; 30 mL). The combined aqueous layers were acidified with aqueous HCl (4 M) to pH = 1 – 2, and extracted with EtOAc (3 x 50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (40 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give pyrazolone 8 (9.486 g, 34.59 mmol, 93%) as an off-white or yellow solid, essentially pure by its 1H NMR spectrum. Analytically pure samples were obtained by recrystallization from EtOH. Rf (hexanes : EtOAc 1 : 1) = 0.06. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) = 7.59 (d, J = 1.4 Hz, 1H), 7.25 – 7.22 (m, 2H), 6.86 – 6.82 (m, 2H), 5.07 (s, 2H), 4.29 (qd, J = 7.1, 1.4 Hz, 2H), 3.76 (d, J = 1.4 Hz, 3H), 1.33 (td, J = 7.1, 1.4 Hz, 3H). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD): δ (ppm) = 7.65 (s, 1H), 7.21 – 7.14 (m, 2H), 6.89 – 6.81 (m, 2H), 5.04 (s, 2H), 4.25 (q, J = 7.1 Hz, 2H), 3.74 (s, 3H), 1.30 (t, J = 7.1 Hz, 3H). 13C{1H}-NMR (101 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) = 165.7, 159.3, 156.0, 138.0, 129.4, 127.8, 114.1, 94.3, 60.4, 55.2, 50.0, 15.3. 13C{1H}-NMR (101 MHz, CD3OD): δ (ppm) = 164.9, 160.8, 156.4, 140.1, 130.1, 129.5, 115.0, 96.8, 60.9, 55.7, 50.3, 14.8. IR (Diamond-ATR, neat) νmax (cm-1) = 2583, 1685, 1536, 1510, 1370, 1336, 1244, 1163, 1090, 1027, 793, 779, 724, 691. HRMS (ES-ToF) m/z: [M + H]+ calc. for (C14H17N2O4)+: 277.1183, found: 277.1188. m.p.: 102 – 105 °C (EtOH) (lit.[4] m.p. 105 °C). Anal. Calcd for C14H16N2O4: C, 60.86; H, 5.84; N; 10.14. Found: C, 60.82; H, 5.81; N, 10.12. The analytic data were in good agreement with literature values.[4]
