Sodium Iodide → Ethyl 2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a chloroform solution (2 mL) of 3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole (68 mg, 0.50 mmol), potassium carbonate (104 mg, 0.75 mmol) and ethyl bromoacetate (100 mg, 0.60 mmol) were added and the resultant mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 2 hours. To the reaction solution, adequate amount of sodium iodide was added and the resultant mixture was further stirred for 1 day. To the reaction solution, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (147 mg, 0.77 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (catalytic amount) and ethanol (500 μL) were added and the resultant mixture was stirred for 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, water was added to the reaction solution and extraction with chloroform from the resultant mixture was performed. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a crude product of the title compound. The crude product was used in the next reaction as it was.
