Water → methyl 1-benzyl-3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (5.1 g) synthesized in Example 1(3) was dissolved in dimethylformamide (50 mL), potassium carbonate (5.3 g) and benzylbromide (4.6 mL) were added to at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into water, and the mixture was extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:4, volume ratio) to give the title object compound (5.9 g, 71%) as an oil.
