Sodium Carbonate → 1-ethyl-4-iodo-3-(4-methyl-2-thienyl)-1H-pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-ethyl-3-(4-methyl-2-thienyl)-1H-pyrazole (6.2 mmol) in 20 mL dry N,N-dimethylformamide under argon atmosphere was added N-iodosuccinimide (6.6 mmol) in small portions at 0° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and was stirred overnight. 5% aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution and saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, then extracted with MTBE. The combined organic extracts were successively washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (cyclohexane:dichloromethane 100:0 to 0:100) to afford 1.56 g 1-ethyl-4-iodo-3-(4-methyl-2-thienyl)-1H-pyrazole (76% yield).
