Ethyl ketone → ethyl 5-(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzoyl)-2-(3-methoxypentan-3-yl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

p-Toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (20 mg) was added to a solution of 3-pentanone (3.1 ml) and trimethyl orthoformate (3.3 ml) in methylene chloride (10 ml). The mixture was heated for one hr with stirring. This solution (4 ml) was added to a solution of ethyl 5-(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzoyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate (Synthesis Example 2) (140 mg) in methylene chloride (2 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hr, and triethylamine (0.05 ml) was then added thereto. The mixture was post-treated by a conventional method and subjected to separation and purification to give ethyl 5-(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzoyl)-2-(3-methoxypentan-3-yl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate (140 mg, 78%) as a yellow powder.
