Water → 1,4-dimethyl-5-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4.4 g (24.4 mmol) of 1,4-dimethyl-5-hydroxy-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole in 50 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide were added 5.1 g (36.6 mmol) of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 6.3 (26.8 mmol) of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, followed by 3 hours of stirring at room temperature. After the completion of the reaction was confirmed, the reaction solution was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The resulting organic layer was washed with water and saline, successively, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure to obtain 6.1 g (yield: 95.3%) of 1,4-dimethyl-5-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole as a pale yellow liquid.
