Dimethylformamide → 4-Bromo-1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A sealable vessel was charged with potassium carbonate (3.76 g, 27.2 mmol), 4-bromo-1H-pyrazole (4.00 g, 27.2 mmol), and 10 mL DMF. To this mixture, 2-iodopropane (3.27 ml, 32.7 mmol) was added and the vessel sealed. The mixture was heated at 80 C for 16 h and allowed to cool to rt. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc, extracted with water, water, sat NaHCO3, and the organic layer dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated. The mixture was purified via flash chromatography using a EtOAc in CH2Cl2 gradient. The desired compound (as determined by TLC, I2 stain) was collected as a colorless liquid.
