Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 100 mL round bottom flask was added copper (I) iodide (30.4 mg, 0.16 mmol), 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole (31.2 mg, 0.16 mmol), cesium carbonate (625 mg, 1.92 mmol) and DMF (5.3 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to 60° C. for 1 h then (1H-pyrazol-3-yl)methanol (235 mg, 2.40 mmol) and 2-bromo-4-iodo-1-methoxybenzene (500 mg, 1.60 mmol) were added and the mixture was heated at 100° C. for 18 hours. The reaction was cooled, diluted with EtOAc and filtered through celite. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and purified by silica gel chromatography (0-100% EtOAc in Hepane) to afford (1-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)methanol (353 mg) MS [M+2H+]=285.0.
