Nitromethane → 7-[(E)-2-nitroethenyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazole-1-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazole-1,7-dicarbaldehyde (1 g) and ammonium acetate (653 mg) in nitromethane (20 ml) was refluxed for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure and extracted with dichloromethane. The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give 7-[(E)-2-nitroethenyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazole-1-carbaldehyde (1.00 g).
