1-Bromo-2-methylpropane → HCID 25247760, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Nitro-1H-pyrazole (prepared in example 3, 100 mg, 0.89 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (4 mL) and a 60% dispersion of sodium hydride in mineral oil (42 mg, 1.06 mmol) was added while stirring under nitrogen. After the effervescence ceased and the reaction stirred for an additional 10 min before 1-bromo-2-methyl-propane (115 μL, 1.06 mmol) was added. The reaction continued to stir under nitrogen for 4 h. The reaction was stored at −25° C. for 16 h. The solution was diluted with ethyl acetate (30 mL), washed with water (2×10 mL), saturated aqueous brine solution (10 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by ISCO flash column chromatography (Teledyne Isco RediSep Flash Column 10 g; 25% ethyl acetate/hexanes to 75% ethyl acetate/hexanes) afforded 3-nitro-1-iso-butyl-1H-pyrazole (83 mg, 46%) as a white powder.
