Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-nitro-1H-pyrazole (prepared as in Example 5, 3.00 g, 26.55 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (15 mL) was treated with solid potassium carbonate (5.50 g, 39.82 mmol) and (S)-(−)-glycidol (3.93 g, 53.10 mmol) and placed in a sealed tube and heated at 100° C. for 1 h in an oil bath. After this time the N,N-dimethylformamide was removed in vacuo. Purification by ISCO flash chromatography (Teledyne Isco RediSep Flash Column 12 g; 0% to 10% methanol/dichloromethane) afforded (R)-3-(3-nitro-pyrazol-1-yl)-propane-1,2-diol (3.17 g, 64%) as a yellow oil: LR-ES-MS m/z calculated for C6H9N3O4 [M]+ 187, observed [M+H]+ 188.
