Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 4-nitro-1H-pyrazole (500 mg) and potassium carbonate (1.22 g) in DMF (5 mL) was added dropwise 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (1.54 g). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hr, water was added thereto, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. A suspension of the obtained residue and palladium on carbon (1 g) in methanol (30 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 12 hr under a hydrogen atmosphere, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by preparative HPLC to give the title compound (490 mg).
