Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.996 g (8.82 mmol) of 4-nitropyrazole (J. Med. Chem. 2005, 48, 5780-5793) and 1.33 g (10.6 mmol) of dimethyl sulphate in 10 mL of 1 M NaOH was heated at 35° C. for 48 hrs. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT and the precipitate was filtered, washed with water, and dried to give 0.561 g (50% yield) of 1-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ8.83 (s, 1H), 8.22 (s, 1H), 3.91 (s, 3H).
