Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3-Nitro-1H-pyrazole (prepared in example 3, 1.00 g, 8.84 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (15 mL) and a 60% dispersion of sodium hydride in mineral oil (423 mg, 10.61 mmol) was added while stirring under nitrogen. After the effervescence ceased and the reaction stirred for an additional 25 min, the reaction was chilled to 0° C. and the 3-bromomethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (2.11 g, 9.20 mmol) was added. The reaction continued to stir under nitrogen at 0° C. for 20 min. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate (200 mL), washed with water (2×50 mL), saturated aqueous brine solution (2×20 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give an orange oil. Purification by ISCO flash column chromatography (Teledyne Isco RediSep Flash Column 120 g; 10% ethyl acetate/hexanes to 60% ethyl acetate/hexanes) afforded 3-(3-nitro-pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)-benzoic acid methyl ester (1.90 g, 82%) as a white waxy solid: H1-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.93 (3H, s), 5.42 (2H, s), 6.91 (1H, d, J=2.0 Hz), 7.42-7.48 (3H, m), 7.97 (1H, s), 8.03-8.04 (1H, m).
