Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole (5.02 g, 39.5 mmol) in DMF (80 mL) were added CH3I (10.01 mg, 70.52 mmol) and K2CO3 (9.97 g). The mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 2 h, quenched with water (100 mL), and extracted with EtOAc (250 mL×3). The combined organic phases were washed with brine (100 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as brown oil (10.01 g, 89.79%).
