Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-iodo-1H-pyrazole (960 mg, 5 mmol), 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl iodide (3.13 g, 15 mmol) and CS2CO3 (2.4 g, 7.7 mmol) in DMF (5 ml) is heated at 60° C. with stirring overnight. After cooling, the reaction mixture is partitioned between water (50 ml) and ether (20 ml). The organic layer is separated, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to afford the title compound as an oil which solidified upon standing 1.0 g (72%). 1HNMR (CDCl3): δ (ppm) 4.70 (m, 2H), 7.56 (s, 1H), 7.59 (s, 1H).
