1-(Azidomethyl)-4-methoxybenzene → 2-chloro-4-[1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]pyrimidine

To a solution of 2-chloro-4-ethynylpyrimidine (200 mg, 1.4 mmol) and 1-(azidomethyl)-4-methoxybenzene (0.5 M in t-butanol, 2.9 mL, 1.44 mmol) in 1:1 water tBuOH (7.2 mL) was added copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (36 mg, 0.14 mmol) and sodium ascorbate (143 mg, 0.72 mmol) and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 hrs. The reaction was then partitioned between water (50 mL) and EtOAc (50 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted once with EtOAc (50 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (50 mL), dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification on silica (30-50% ethyl acetate in hexanes) afforded 2-chloro-4-[1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]pyrimidine (256 mg, 59%) as a white solid.
