Methyl iodide → HCID 89648818, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

21.58 g of ethyl 1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-5-hydroxy-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate 1-1-2 (81.66 mmol, 1.0 eq) were dissolved in dry acetone. Then 10.17 mL of iodomethane (163.3 mmol, 2.0 eq) and 40.63 g of potassium carbonate (294 mmol, 3.6 eq) were added. The precipitate was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between DCM and water, the aqueous layer was separated and extracted with DCM twice. The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered off and concentrated in vacuo to give 14.74 g (52.96 mmol, 65%) of the crude target compound that was used for the next transformation without further purification.
