Participants

Reaction Steps

4-nitro-1H-1,2,3-triazole (6.468 g, 56.707 mmol) and potassium carbonate (15.683 g, 113.472 mmol) were added into 150 mL acetone. Chloromethyl methyl ether (4.74 mL, 62.407 mmol) was added dropwise into the above mixture under ice bath. After completion, water and ethyl acetate were added into the reaction solution. Phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases were combined, washed with saturated sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, concentrated, chromatographed on a silica gel column (ethyl acetate:petroleum ether=1:5) to obtain 1-(methoxymethyl)-4-nitro-1H-1,2,3-triazole, as 5.517 g of a light yellow liquid, at a yield of 61.5%.
