Sodium hydride → HCID 53256559, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Nitro-1H-pyrazole (prepared in example 3, 270 mg, 2.39 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (3 mL) and a 60% dispersion of sodium hydride in mineral oil (116 mg, 2.90 mmol) was added while stirring under nitrogen. After the effervescence ceased and the reaction stirred for an additional 10 min, the 1-bromo-3-methyl-but-2-ene (390 mg, 2.60 mmol) was added. The reaction continued to stir under nitrogen for 2 h. The solution was diluted with ethyl acetate (75 mL), washed with water (2×25 mL), saturated aqueous brine solution (25 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by flash column chromatography (Merck silica gel 60, 40-63 μm; 20% ethyl acetate/hexanes) afforded 1-(3-methyl-but-2-enyl)-3-nitro-1H-pyrazole (340 mg, 79%) as a yellow oil: H1-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.79 (3H, s), 1.83 (3H, s), 4.80 (2H, d, J=7.2 Hz), 5.45 (1H, t, J=7.2 Hz), 6.88 (1H, s), 7.43 (1H, s).
