Water → 3-methyl-5-nitro-2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Cesium carbonate (75 mg) and pyrazole (12 mg) were added to an N,N-dimethylacetamide (5 ml) solution containing 6-chloro-5-methylpyridin-3-amine (12 mg), followed by reflux for 3.5 hours. Water was added to the reaction solution, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The resultant was washed with saturated saline and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Subsequently, the solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure, the obtained residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=1:0 to 10:1), and a light yellow solid of 3-methyl-5-nitro-2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (12 mg) was obtained.
