Sodium Methoxide → 5-(methoxymethyl)-1-methyl-3-nitro-1H-pyrazole

A 250-mL single-neck round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer and a reflux condenser was charged with 5-(bromomethyl)-1-methyl-3-nitro-1H-pyrazole (8.8 g, 40 mmol), sodium methoxide (4.3 g, 80 mmol), and methanol (50 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 2 h. After this time the reaction was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate (60 mL) and water (60 mL). The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with brine (50 mL) and dried over sodium sulfate. The drying agent was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 336a as a yellow oil (6.1 g, 90%). MS-ESI: [M+H]+ 172.
