Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-nitro-1H-pyrazole (25 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (100 mL) was added ethyl 2-bromo-2-methylpropanoate (39 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 2 hr. To the reaction mixture was added water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The obtained organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (50 g).
