Sodium hydride → HCID 10291825, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl bromoacetate (984 μL, 10 mmol) and then sodium hydride (60% dispersion in oil, 801 mg, 20.1 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of the pyrazole (2.6 g, 9.12 mmol) of Example 3 in dry N,N′-dimethylformamide (25 ml) at 0° C. under nitrogen. After stirring for 1 hour at 0° C. ice-water (100 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted with ether (3×50 ml). The combined ether layers were dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate:pentane (20:80, by volume) to provide the title compound (780 mg) as a yellow oil which partly crystallised on standing.
