Methyl iodide → HCID 68498888, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (2-thiazol-2-yl-2H-pyrazol-3-yl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (100 mg, 0.42 mmol), methyl iodide (66 mg, 0.46 mmol) and cesium carbonate (151 mg, 0.46 mmol) in DMF (6 mL) is stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction is quenched with NH4Cl (aq.) (6 mL) and ethyl acetate (30 mL). The organic layer is separated and the aqueous layer is extracted with ethyl acetate (3×30 mL). The combined organic layers are dried and the solvent removed. The crude is purified by PTLC (hexane/ethyl acetate 3:1) to give 2-(2-thiazol-2-yl-2H-pyrazol-3-yl)-propionic acid ethyl ester as an oil.
