Dimethylformamide → 4-Iodo-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-iodo-pyrazole (582 mg, 3.0 mmole) and cesium carbonate (1.96 g, 6.0 mmole) was stirred with DMF (6 mL) for 5 minutes. Trifluoroethyl triflate (0.52 mL, 870 mg, 3.75 mmole) was added and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 4.5 hours. The reaction was added to water (60 mL) and extracted with ether (3×25 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with water (3×20 mL) and with brine; then dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to afford the title compound (857 mg, 89%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz): δ 4.72 (q, J=8.20, 2H), 7.58 (s, 1H), 7.61 (s, 1H).
