Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-nitro-1H-pyrazole (211 mg, 1.87 mmol), pyridine-4-methanol (0.28 ml, 2.56 mmol), and triphenylphosphine (538 mg, 2.05 mmol) in THF (10 ml) under nitrogen is added di-t-butyl azodicarboxylate (472 mg, 2.05 mmol) over 3 min. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The mixture is concentrated and purified via flash column chromatography using a gradient elution of 0-3% CH2Cl2/methanol to afford the desired compound as a yellow oil (247 mg, 65%).
