Methyl iodide → 3-(4-Fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-1h-pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

Treat a solution of 3-(4-fluorophenyl)pyrazole (7.17 g, 44.2 mmol) in dry DMF (60 mL) with NaH (2.2 g, 92.8 mmol) at 0° C. for 15 min. Add iodomethane (3.3 mL, 53.04 mmol) and slowly warm to RT. Quench the reaction mixture with methanol (5 mL) and dilute with water (100 mL). Extract with EtOAc (3×70 mL), dry (MgSO4) and concentrate and purify (Biotage system eluting with dichloromethane:methanol 50:1) to give desired compound as a white solid (2.3 g, 29% yield).
