Sodium hydride → HCID 50999543, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Nitro-1H-pyrazole (prepared in example 3, 300 mg, 2.65 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (6.6 mL) and a 60% dispersion of sodium hydride in mineral oil (106 mg, 2.66 mmol) was added while stirring under nitrogen. After the effervescence ceased and the reaction stirred for an additional 10 min, 1-bromo-2-methoxy-ethane (250 μL, 2.66 mmol) was added. The reaction continued to stir under nitrogen for 16 h. The solution was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL), washed with 1.0 M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (25 mL), water (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; 40% ethyl acetate/hexanes) afforded 1-(2-methoxy-ethyl)-3-nitro-1H-pyrazole (384 mg, 85%) as a white solid: H1-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.34 (3H, s), 3.77 (2H, t, J=4.4 Hz), 4.36 (2H, t, J=4.8 Hz), 6.87 (1H, d, J=2.8 Hz), 7.54 (1H, d, J=2.4 Hz).
