Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 17862356, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (3.52 g, 25.5 mmol) and 2,4-dichloronitrobenzene (9.79 g, 51.0 mmol) were added to a solution of 3-hydroxy-5-methylpyrazole (5.00 g, 51.0 mmol) in DMF (130 ml) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was poured into 1N hydrochloric acid (200 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml×3). An organic layer was washed with water (100 ml×3), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered to remove magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off from the filtrate under reduced pressure. The resultant crude product was purified with a silica gel column (ethyl acetate/hexane=1/3), to give a yellow solid of 3-(3-chloro-4-nitrophenyloxy)-5-methylpyrazole (6.33 g, yield: 48.9%) [mp: 91-93° C.; 1H-NMR (CDCl3, TMS, ppm): δ 2.30 (s, 3H), 5.74 (d, J=0.6 Hz, 1H), 7.10 (dd, J=2.8 and 9.1 Hz, 1H), 7.25 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.97 (d, J=9.1 Hz, 1H), 10.73 (br d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H)] and a yellow solid of 3-(5-chloro-2-nitrophenyloxy)-5-methylpyrazole (2.31 g, yield: 17.9%) [mp: 87-90° C.; 1H-NMR (CDCl3, TMS, ppm): δ 2.27 (s, 3H), 5.73 (d, J=0.6 Hz, 1H), 7.17 (dd, J=2.2 and 8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.26 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H), 7.91 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 10.77 (br s, 1H)].
