Ethyl bromoacetate → Ethyl 1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1H-1,2,4-triazol (2 g, 29.9 mmol, 1.0 eq) in DMF were added K2CO3 (12.3 g, 88.9 mmol, 3 eq.) and ethyl 2-bromoacetate (4.8 g, 29.9 mmol, 1 eq). The mixture was stirred at RT for 16 h. The mixture was quenched and extracted as in Intermediate Example 5(a). The solvent was distilled off to give the product in 65% yield (3 g). LC-MS (ESI): Calculated mass: 155.0; Observed mass: 156.1 [M+H]+ (rt: 0.113 min).
