Methyl iodide → HCID 66958961, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 5-(2-cyano-2-methylpropyl)-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (6.12 g, 23.1 mmol) in THF (50 mL) was cooled to approximately 0° C. under nitrogen, and iodomethane (3.28 g, 23.1 mmol) was added. Sodium hydride (0.924 g of 60% in mineral oil, 23.1 mmol) was added in one portion. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature slowly and stirred overnight. Saturated aqueous ammonium chloride was added, and the mixture was extracted three times with tert-butyl methyl ether. The combined extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide a yellow oil. The oil was purified by chromatography on a HORIZON HPFC system (65I cartridge, eluting with ethyl acetate) to provide 3.68 g of ethyl 5-(2-cyano-2-methylpropyl)-1-(2-methoxyethyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate as a pale yellow oil.
