Pyrazole → 2-Bromo-6-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1H-Pyrazole (10.0 mmol, 680 mg) in distilled dioxane (30 mL) were added KOtBu (11.0 mmol, 1.26 g), and followed by addition of 2,6-dibromopyridine (10.0 mmol, 2.37 g). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 48 hour, and then quenched with 5 mL of water. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure and water was added to the residue, then the mixture was extracted with DCM. The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. After solvent evaporation, the crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (Hexanes:ethyl acetate=20:1 as eluent) to afford a white solid (2.01 g, 90%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, ppm): 8.53 (s, 1H), 7.92 (d, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.73 (s, 1H), 7.67 (t, 1H, J=7.8 Hz), 7.35 (d, 1H, 7.6 Hz), 6.46 (s, 1H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3, ppm): 162.72, 140.73, 139.91, 127.58, 125.25, 110.89, 108.23.
