Dimethyl Sulfoxide → 3-chloro-1-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole

Iodomethane (0.860 mL, 13.82 mmol) was added to a mixture of 2-(3-chloro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-5-nitrophenol (1.33 g, 5.53 mmol), potassium hydroxide (0.388 g, 6.91 mmol), and DMSO (25 mL). The mixture was left to stir at rt for 24 h. The reaction mixture was poured into water (250 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The combined extracts were washed with water, washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified using silica gel column chromatography (0-1% MeOH/chloroform, linear gradient over 72 min, flow 25 mL/min). The pure fractions were combined and concentrated to afford 3-chloro-1-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole (0.924 g, 3.63 mmol, 65.6% yield) as a light yellow solid.
