Methyl iodide → 4-bromo-5-(methoxymethyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

NaH (60%, 58 mg) was added to a solution of (4-bromo-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)methanol (Preparation 149, 97 mg, 1.03 mmol) in THF/DMF (8/4 mL). After stirring for 15 minutes, iodomethane (439 mg, 3.09 mmol) in THF (1 mL) was added. The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with brine and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound (142 mg, 67%).
