Sodium hydride → 1-(2-fluoroethyl)-4-iodo-1H-pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-iodo-1H-pyrazole (1.10 g, 5.7 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (25 mL) is treated with NaH (0.23 g, 60% in mineral oil, 5.7 mmol). After stirring for 20 minutes at room temperature, the reaction mixture is treated with 1-iodo-2-fluoroethane (1.0 g, 5.7 mmol) and stirred over night at room temperature. The reaction is quenched with H2O and diluted with EtOAc. The two layers are separated and the aqueous is extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts are washed with H2O, brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The crude material is purified by chromatography (silica gel, EtOAc/hexane:15/85) to afford the title compound (1.08 g, 79%) as an oil. MS (+) ES 240 (M+H)+.
